MJF wins at AEW Revolution, Hangman Page unable to challenge for World title ever again
Hangman Page will never be able to challenge for the AEW World title again after losing to reigning champion MJF at Sunday’s AEW Revolution.
On his birthday, MJF defeated Page in a Texas Death Match in the night’s main event, a bloody fight that featured barbed wire, a staple gun, paper cuts, a broken pane of glass, light tubes, skewers, and a broken broom handle among other items. One of those was a hypodermic needle that was stuck through Page’s cheek in a callback to his Texas Death Match with Swerve Strickland.
Page nearly had MJF beat after driving skewers into his head followed by a buckshot lariat. Page then brought out a double dog collar in a callback to MJF’s violent match with CM Punk several years ago. He then dragged MJF to the apron and brought out a barbed wire board on top of another table as the fans chanted for fire. The two battled and MJF pulled Page off for a flip through the board/table.
MJF continued to whip Page with the collar chain, going up to the stage. Page countered, grabbing MJF and jumping into a table of electrical equipment that exploded. Both men eventually beat the ten count and Page dog walked him back to the ring. MJF kicked him low off a buckshot attempt and grabbed his title belt, hitting him in the head and barely beating the ten count. Page hit him with the belt and went for another buckshot, but MJF countered and choked Page out over the top rope to end the match.
Page was put on a stretcher, but MJF jumped up on the stretcher and stood over his opponent to end the pay-per-view.
Because of the stipulation Page offered in order to get the title shot, he and Cody Rhodes are now the only two men in company history to be ineligible to ever challenge for the World title again due to that stipulation.
It’s MJF’s first win over Page in four tries.
MJF wore the crimson mask first and was dragged through the broken glass, followed by a string of barbed wire in his mouth as Page pulled it back and forth from behind as if he were a horse. Page was later cut open after MJF stabbed him with a piece of the glass, followed by him dragging Page through the glass.
MJF’s second World title reign continues with the sixth successful defense of the gold he won at last December’s Worlds End. He came out for his first-ever Texas Death Match clad in tights and trunks and Western garb in honor of Terry Funk. Page is now 5-2 in his speciality match with his only other loss coming to Strickland at November 2023’s Full Gear.
Page held the title twice in his career, the first time from November 2021’s Full Gear when he defeated Kenny Omega through May 2022’s Double or Nothing when he notably lost to CM Punk. His second run came from July 2025’s All In Texas through November’s Full Gear.
