Hangman Adam Page and Chris Jericho competed at AEW All Out to crown the first-ever AEW World Champion. Jericho ultimately won the match and became the champion. It seems Adam Page believes he did not deserve to be in the AEW Title picture in the first place.
Page spoke to Wrestling Inc, where he revealed how he felt when he was in the AEW World Title scene. While he only had to compete in a battle royal, where he was the last entrant; Chris Jericho had to beat Kenny Omega.
To Page, their journey to the AEW World Title “didn’t feel equal.” He simply believes that he did not earn his shot at the title.
“I think about how we got to the first ever title match, and Chris Jericho got there by beating the best wrestler in the world at the time and I might say now as well, Kenny Omega. And I got there by getting to enter into a battle royal dead last and eliminating a lot of people who were largely kind of unknown, under known [or] under successful, maybe.”
“So even our paths to the title match didn’t feel equal. I never felt like I earned it, maybe, in the same way that Chris Jericho did, and then getting to be in that title match, obviously, is huge opportunity. And it’s one that I blew, so here we are.”
Adam Page is now a singles competitor again after losing the AEW World Tag Team Titles with his former teammate Kenny Omega. We will have to see what is next in store for the star.
