Report: Hangman Page to take time off following AEW Revolution
An update is available regarding what is next for Hangman Page following his loss to MJF at AEW Revolution.
According to Fightful Select, Page is expected to have time off from AEW television. The report notes it is unclear whether his absence will begin immediately or if he will return to Dynamite in the coming weeks before leaving. There is also no timetable for how long he will be away.
During the Revolution post-event press conference, Tony Khan addressed the stipulation that Page can no longer challenge for the AEW World Championship, noting it is the same situation Cody Rhodes agreed to after losing to Chris Jericho at AEW Full Gear 2019.
“It’s the same thing with Cody, it was a gentleman’s handshake with both of them,” Khan responded when asked how strict the stipulation is. “They both came to me and said, ‘I want to put this at stake.’ And both of them, I told them, ‘That sounds f***ing nuts, dude.’ Both of them really wanted to do it. And in both cases I said, ‘Are you sure?’ And they both said, ‘Yeah.’ So it is an agreement we made. Second time it’s happened. [Page] is somebody that’s known for being a man of his word, and we made an agreement. So it’s a verbal contract.” that’s known for being a man of his word, and we made an agreement.
