Tony Khan confirms Hangman vs. Kenny Omega for AEW Full Gear

Tony Khan confirmed that Hangman Page will face Kenny Omega at Full Gear for the AEW World Heavyweight title.

During an interview with Robbie Fox on the “My Mom’s Basement” podcast, Khan brought up the AEW World Title Eliminator tournament that is due to begin soon. He also pointed out some of the similarities between last year’s Full Gear event and this year’s show, which will take place in Minneapolis, Minnesota on  November 13.

“Last year [the AEW World Title Eliminator tournament] culminated in Kenny vs. Hangman, which is very fitting because now as we go into Full Gear this year, we’re back and now Kenny is the World champion and he’s facing Hangman,” Khan said.

Page returned to the company on last week’s Dynamite, entering the Casino Ladder Match as the mystery joker entrant. He won the match, earning a future AEW World Championship match. During a promo that aired after the match, Hangman didn’t mention when he would challenge for the title. He had taken time off due to the upcoming birth of his child and was written out by being attacked by the Elite.
