10 Ups & 1 Down From AEW Dynamite: Road Rager (7 July)

3. IT'S BANGKOK, BABY!

Hangman Page Kenny Omega
AEW

Kenny Omega was at his petty, bratty best when he kicked Evil Uno square in the balls. "What happens to be the capital of Thailand? IT'S BANGKOK, BABY!" was so him, and so childish, in a segment that further established Hangman Page vs. Omega as the money program in AEW right now.

Callis and Omega once again refused to acknowledge Page as they claimed there were no credible World Title challengers left. Chants of "we want Hangman!" were already pounding through the building when Evil Uno emerged to another big pop, speaking up on his friend's behalf, sacrificing his family jewels in the process. Then, as the Super Elite swarmed, Page's music hit and the number-one ranked wrestler made the save, facing off with Hangman for the first time in close to a year before the goons re-emerging allowed Omega's escape.

Miami's response was critical here. Crowds are gagging to see Page overcome his anxiety and go after Omega. Chanting for Hangman throughout, they erupted when he came out and were gutted when their gratification wasn't immediately paid off - which is good booking 101.

The iron is hot. Time to strike.

Page vs. Omega at All Out 2021.
