Professional wrestling fans have been left wondering about the whereabouts of All Elite Wrestling (AEW) star Hangman Adam Page, who has been noticeably absent from television since his last appearance at the Revolution PPV in March. Theories have been circulating, with many speculating that the former AEW World Champion might be nursing an injury. However, recent reports have shed light on the real reason behind his absence, and it’s not what fans expected.
According to Sean Ross Sapp, speaking on the Fightful Select’s Q&A session, Hangman Adam Page is not injured. Instead, AEW is waiting for the perfect moment to bring him back to television. This revelation has sparked curiosity among fans, who are eager to see the talented wrestler back in action.
Hangman Adam Page’s last televised match was a thrilling Triple Threat bout for the AEW World Championship against Samoa Joe and Swerve Strickland. Despite putting up a valiant effort, Page ended up on the receiving end of Joe’s championship-retaining chokeout. Since then, the wrestling world has been abuzz with speculation about his disappearance.
The drama surrounding Hangman Adam Page’s absence is not new. Last year, he was embroiled in a heated rivalry with CM Punk for the AEW World Championship. However, the feud took an unexpected turn when backstage tensions between the two superstars boiled over into a physical altercation after the All Out 2022 PPV. The infamous ‘Brawl Out’ incident marked a turning point in their feud, which ultimately led to CM Punk’s departure from AEW.
In a recent podcast appearance, wrestling veteran Al Snow criticized Hangman Adam Page, suggesting that he was foolish not to capitalize on the high-profile rivalry with Punk, who was then the biggest star in the company. The remarks sparked debate among fans, with some agreeing that Hangman missed an opportunity to boost his status.
As CM Punk has since made a triumphant return to WWE, attention now shifts back to Hangman Adam Page. With AEW reportedly waiting for the right time to bring him back, fans can barely contain their excitement. Will Hangman Adam Page’s return spark a new era of excitement in AEW, or will it mark a new chapter in the ongoing drama surrounding the promotion? Only time will tell.
