10 Best Matches AEW Still Haven't Booked
1. Kenny Omega Vs. Hangman Page
The texture of this ongoing storyline is unrivalled in the history of the industry, and the match is going to bang as f*cking hard as it will because so much emotion underpins it. The inner conflict of the fans wavers every week, as it has done since December 2019:
Was Hangman Page ungrateful, swilling beer and refusing to celebrate with his battered partner after storming to victory following the hot tag?
Did Kenny Omega belittle Hangman with the repeated implication that he was doing all of this even though he could easily be the Ace figure that his partner failed to become at All Out 2019?
Did Hangman let the team down by failing to see the obvious ruse orchestrated by FTR?
Did he fall for it because he just wanted, all along, to be treated like a peer, and not as a prospect?
All of this will manifest in complex story beats and a constant dance of a dynamic, even if, as has been teased, Omega is the man to turn by reverting to his Cleaner persona. As well, of course, as a phenomenal professional wrestling war waged between two incredible athletes with the keenest eyes for storytelling detail in the game. One day, Kenny Omega and Hangman Page are going to smash into one other with the V-Trigger and the Buckshot lariat to the complete emotional devastation of a crowd torn over the course of almost a full calendar year.
Such a double down spot usually erupts in a "This is awesome! chant, but that crowd may well be too invested to perform.
