Hangman Page and Swerve Strickland, two AEW stars engaged in a fierce rivalry, are set to face off at AEW All Out this weekend. Their feud has become one of AEW’s most intense, joining the ranks of past rivalries like MJF vs. CM Punk and Cody Rhodes vs. Chris Jericho.
The rivalry began last year when Swerve Strickland criticized Hangman Page, suggesting that with the same opportunities, he would be the top star in AEW. Their first match at AEW WrestleDream saw Strickland defeat Page. The feud intensified when Strickland personally visited Page’s home, leading to a Texas Death Match at AEW Full Gear, where Strickland again emerged victorious.
By March 2024, at AEW Revolution, both wrestlers challenged Samoa Joe for the AEW World Championship in a triple-threat match, but Joe retained his title. Strickland later captured the AEW World Championship, while Page took a hiatus. Upon his return a few months ago, Page focused on exacting revenge on Strickland for his past actions.
The rivalry has reached new heights as they prepare for their bout at AEW All Out. On the latest AEW Dynamite, Page escalated the feud dramatically. During a high-stakes contract signing, Page was absent despite his music playing while Swerve Strickland was present in the ring. The broadcast then showed Page at Strickland’s new home, where he set the house on fire.
Swerve Strickland issues a bold warning to Hangman Page
Former World Champion Hangman Page intensified his rivalry with Swerve Strickland by taking a drastic step. Last year, Strickland had visited Page’s home, creating a frightening situation. This time, Page retaliated by setting Strickland’s house on fire, escalating their feud even further. In response to these actions, Swerve Strickland issued a significant warning to Page.
This weekend at All Out, fans are set to witness an exciting showdown between Hangman Page and Swerve Strickland. They will clash in a Steel Cage unsanctioned lights-out match at the Now Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.
