Real reason why Swerve Strickland scrapped AEW plans



As recently reported, Hangman Adam Page made his return to AEW in July and set his sights on the then-AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland.



Although a participant in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, Hangman Adam Page wouldn’t win a shot at Swerve Strickland, with Bryan Danielson being victorious and becoming the new AEW World Champion at AEW All In on August 25.


With Bryan Danielson defending the AEW World Championship against Jack Perry on the upcoming PPV, Swerve Strickland and Hangman Adam Page are set for the same event.


Swerge Strickland has, however, revealed that there was meant to be more to the feud between the pair in comments made to Fightful Select.



In an interview from earlier this year, Swerve Strickland stated that there were going to be more matches in the feud, which Fightful reports would have been a steel cage match that was set for late 2023.


In 2023, Hangman Adam Page and Swerve Strickland crossed paths at WrestleDream in October and at Full Gear in November, with that match being a Texas Death Match.


2024 would bring us an AEW World Championship Number 1 Contender Match in February that would end in a time-limit draw with their next match being in March at AEW Revolution with Samoa Joe retaining the AEW World Championship against both men in a three-way.



The AEW Revolution match would be Hangman Adam Page’s last appearance until July 2024 in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament on the Beach Break episode of AEW Dynamite.


Swerve Strickland revealed on last night’s Dynamite that Hangman Adam Page’s wife was pregnant during the feud between the two.


With Hangman Adam Page being written off television with a storyline injury, Fightful has now revealed that he had ‘extensive paternity leave’ as a part of his AEW deal.
