AEW Producer Not Happy About Hangman Page Fake Injury Report
Adam Page has faced several injuries during his career, so fans were worried about his status this week after AEW Dynamite. While it seemed he sustained an injury on Dynamite this week, it was later disclosed to be all part of the show.
During this week's AEW Dynamite main event, AEW World Champion Samoa Joe, Swerve Strickland, and Brian Cage faced FTW Champion HOOK, "Hangman" Adam Page, and RVD. Fans were quick to notice a moment where Adam Page appeared to twist his ankle as he got out of Samoa Joe's Muscle Buster. Post-show footage captured Page limping backstage, and Hangman said his foot was, "bad."
Dave Meltzer initially reported Page's ankle injury. Then, Fightful Select corrected this as it was stated that Adam Page was simply playing his part for the audience.
Jeremy Lynn expressed his frustration on Twitter regarding a report debunking Adam Page's injury. Lynn emphasized his disappointment, suggesting it would have been better kept as a secret until next week.
”This shouldn’t even be announced. God forbid we have a cliff hanger for next week.”
We will have to see how AEW uses this storyline. Since Jerry Lynn said that fans should have waited until next week, odds are Tony Khan has some kind of follow up in the pipeline. Only time will tell if this leak about Page will change AEW's creative direction.
