On Saturday, July 12th, 2025, under the blistering Texas sun and in front of a sold-out crowd at All In, All Elite Wrestling will reach a pivotal crossroads. At the heart of it stands a man who has bled, fought, fallen, and risen — “Hangman” Adam Page — ready to ride one more time into the fire. But this isn’t just about championships or redemption anymore. This is about freeing AEW itself.
Page isn’t just facing Jon Moxley. He’s facing the darkness that has gripped the company since the formation of the Death Riders. The AEW World Championship — once a beacon of excellence, pride, and hope — now hides behind gang assaults, and the cold steel of a briefcase. Moxley, in the midst of his fourth reign as AEW World Champion, has turned the title into a symbol of fear, oppression, and violence. It’s no longer about earning greatness — it’s about surviving the chaos left in Moxley’s wake.
But if there’s anyone in AEW’s storied history who understands chaos… it’s the Hangman.
From the anxious millennial cowboy unsure of his place in The Elite to the man who conquered Kenny Omega in a match that defined an era, Page has carried the weight of self-doubt, expectation, and pressure — and turned it into resilience. He’s faced demons in the bottle, in his own mind, and across the ring. Every setback has carved him into something deeper. Something stronger.
And now, he’s once again found purpose — not through glory, but through war.
After winning the 2025 Owen Hart Cup in a grueling finale against Will Ospreay, Page punched his ticket to All In: Texas. He earned his shot. But unlike years past, this isn’t about proving he belongs — this is about putting AEW back into the hands of those who believe in what it once stood for.
Moxley, now a tyrant under the banner of the Death Riders, doesn’t fight for respect anymore — he fights to dominate. With Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta backing him, and the remnants of what was once the noble Blackpool Combat Club corrupted beyond recognition, the Death Riders have become the most violent, merciless force in AEW history. They’ve assaulted heroes, shattered friendships, and forced the world title into hiding inside a literal briefcase — a dark metaphor for how inaccessible and manipulated the championship has become.
And yet, even amidst blood feuds and betrayals, even when Swerve Strickland and Will Ospreay tried to bring unity to the fight, Page refused. Not out of pride — but because he knew this war had to be personal.
This isn’t just about winning the AEW World Title again. It’s about burning down the rotten institution Moxley has built around it.
And that moment came full circle at Grand Slam: Mexico. After The Death Riders and the Young Bucks looked to deliver another message of brutality to The Opps, Swerve, and Ospreay, it was Page — cowboy hat, boots, and that familiar look of purpose — who rode out. No words. Just action. Clearing the ring, standing face to face with Moxley, he didn’t just confront a man. He confronted a legacy of violence. A shadow over AEW.
Page has walked a long, lonely road to get here. From drinking away his confidence to finding it in himself to carry AEW forward, he’s never run from pain — he’s embraced it. Because cowboys don’t flinch in the storm. They ride into it.
And now, he rides into one final reckoning.
At All In: Texas, Page won’t just be fighting to become a two-time world champion. He’ll be fighting for AEW’s soul. To pry the title from Moxley’s bloodstained grip. To destroy the briefcase that’s kept the world title hidden from the people. To remind the locker room — and the fans — that this company belongs to dreamers, fighters, and believers… not warlords.
This win won’t just be for the crowd. It won’t just be for Swerve, or Ospreay, or Dustin Rhodes, or the countless stars beaten down and broken along the way. It will be for himself. For the kid who doubted he was enough. For the man who became a cowboy not to escape, but to find something worth riding for.
Hangman Adam Page isn’t here to survive. He’s here to save AEW.
And when the dust settles in Texas, when the blood has dried and the briefcase lies shattered in the dirt, Page will ride out — battered, breathless, but free. With the AEW World Championship raised not just as a symbol of victory, but of liberation.
Because this time, the cowboy doesn’t ride off into the sunset.
This time, the cowboy rides through it.
