Following speculation that Adam Page suffered a broken ankle on last night's AEW Dynamite, Hangman is said to be absolutely fine.

For those who missed Dynamite, the main event saw Page, Rob Van Dam, and Hook come up short against Samoa Joe, Swerve Strickland, and Brian Cage. Towards the finish of this contest, Hangman flipped out of a Muscle Buster attempt by Joe, with Page immediately collapsing to the mat, tagging out, spending the rest of the bout on the outside of the ring, and then being helped to the back.

Earlier today, Wrestling Observer Radio had Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer note how the former AEW World Champion appears to have suffered a serious ankle injury, possibly a broken ankle.

Via Fightful Select, Adam Page was said to be absolutely fine once he got backstage. While he did indeed limp to the back with assistance, this was all simply an angle, and one talent told the outlet this was just a case of Hangman being "good at his job".

As it stands, Adam Page and Swerve Strickland are set to challenge for Samoa Joe's AEW World Title in a triple threat encounter at AEW Revolution on Sunday 3 March. And for those fearing Page had suffered a significant injury that would cause him to miss Revolution, that now thankfully doesn't appear to be the case.
