For the first time since 2017, Hangman Page and Jay Lethal will do battle in singles action as part of this Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite.

Page had a backstage brawl with Jeff Jarrett on this past Wednesday’s show following Jarrett’s loss to Bryan Danielson. Lethal, part of Jarrett’s entourage, also got involved which helped set this into motion.

It’s expected this will lead to Page vs. Jarrett being made for this month’s All In from London’s Wembley Stadium.

The last time Page and Lethal squared off was in the first round of the NJPW U.S. title tournament in July 2017 — a match Lethal won. They have wrestled four times in their career with Lethal going 3-1.

Page has lost two straight (Danielson, Darby Allin) while Lethal is 0 for his last seven in AEW dating back to last November.

Here’s the current lineup for Norfolk, Virginia:

  • AEW Swerve Strickland vs. Wheeler Yuta in a non-title match
  • Hangman Page vs. Jay Lethal
  • Britt Baker appearance
  • Claudio Castagnoli and Kazuchika Okada face-to-face
