Hangman Page to face Darby Allin on AEW Dynamite
A big matchup has been added to the card for AEW Dynamite this week.
For the first time ever on AEW television, Hangman Page will go one-on-one with Darby Allin this Wednesday night. The match was announced by Tony Khan after Page and Allin were on opposite sides of last week’s Blood & Guts.
Team AEW (Allin, Swerve Strickland, Mark Briscoe & The Acclaimed) defeated Team Elite (Page, The Young Bucks, Kazuchika Okada & Jack Perry) in Blood & Guts. It set up that Allin will challenge Perry for the TNT title at All In on Sunday, August 25.
Also last week, Allin won the Royal Rampage match to earn an AEW World Championship shot at Grand Slam this September. Strickland is the current AEW World Champion and has a title defense against Bryan Danielson set for All In.
Page is no longer a member of The Elite but agreed to be on their Blood & Guts team so that he could get his hands on his arch rival Strickland.
The only other time Page and Allin have faced each other one-on-one was on the Chris Jericho Cruise in 2020.
