Swerve Strickland vs. Hangman Page steel cage match set for AEW All Out

The next chapter in the feud between Swerve Strickland and Hangman Page will be written at AEW All Out in a steel cage match.

Following Page’s show-opening win over Tomohiro Ishii on Wednesday’s Dynamite, Strickland and Prince Nana came out to confront Page and the two had a verbal exchange reliving their past battles. Page accused Strickland of never being able to beat him on his own in the past and Strickland turned the tables by offering up a challenge for the cage.

Strickland said he recently went by the house Page and his family live in, and saw Page walking outside with his pregnant wife and child as they were preparing to welcome their second child. He then realized that was all Page was meant to be: a family man.

Strickland then continued to run down Page’s manhood until Page left in a huff as Strickland questioned what kind of man he would be inside the cage.

The two first did battle at last October’s WrestleDream that Strickland won, followed by their Texas Death Match at November’s Full Gear that Strickland also won. The two then went to a 30-minute draw on a February Dynamite that led to them both being included in a three-way with then-World Champion Samoa Joe at March’s Revolution that saw the champion retain.
