10 Most Feel-Good Title Wins In Wrestling
3. 'Hangman' Adam Page (AEW Full Gear 2021)
The near three-year-long storyline between The Elite and 'Hangman' Adam Page was AEW operating at its best, which made the 'Anxious Millennial Cowboy's' title win feel incredibly special. The former AEW Tag Team Champion was part of the inaugural world title match against Chris Jericho at All Out 2019, where he ultimately failed leading to a downward spiral that ostracized him from his friends Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks.
Hangman found form once again as a singles performer in 2021 when his former tag partner Omega reigned as the AEW World Champion. It was clear that the two former stablemates were on a collision course but Page had to restore faith in himself and gain back his confidence, which he did with the help of the Dark Order.
The long road back to the AEW title for Hangman came at Full Gear 2021, where the cowboy bested his old friend for the belt. His coronation paid off nearly three years' worth of character development for all of The Elite, whilst concluding one of the best feuds the promotion has ever booked.
