10 WWE & AEW Wrestlers Set For A Big 2022
2. Hangman Page
2022 will see nearly three years of historic storytelling culminate in one of the greatest payoffs in this writer's lifetime.
The rise and fall and potential rise of Hangman Page have transcended typical professional storytelling. There have been so many tiny, subtle moments that have plagued this story, shining a light on mental health, anxiety and addiction, and the struggles for those who suffer alone.
It seemed certain that Hangman Page was going to dethrone Omega at this past All Out pay-per-view, but with the birth of his child, Hangman took some time off and had his shot heartbreakingly taken away from him.
But he will be back.
'Big Bicep Tony' may have acquired some incredibly shiny new toys for his collection, but there is no way that AEW will not pay this storyline off. It was evident from the return of the crowds that Hangman Page is their guy. He is the man of the people and in 2022, the time will come for Kenny Omega to look across the ring from Page and realise his time is up.
How they get there from where we currently are, who knows? But based on how well this story has been told, don't doubt that one of the most cathartic moments in wrestling history will belong to Page in 2022.
Oh, and he will kick out of the One Winged Angel and it will be glorious.
