What’s Next for AEW After a Historic All In: Texas?
Read Time:2 Minute, 43 Second
Last weekend marked a historic milestone for AEW, and not just for one reason. From the emotional coronation of “Hangman” Adam Page as AEW World Champion to the company drawing its largest U.S. crowd to date, the event was a landmark in AEW’s short but eventful history. Adding to the moment, WWE attempted to counter-program the weekend, raising the stakes and further fueling the rivalry between the two promotions.
Now, with All In behind us and momentum on AEW’s side, fans are left asking: What’s next?
Staying The Course
Some are calling for AEW to strike back aggressively at WWE, capitalizing on the momentum to directly challenge their rival’s dominance. But that strategy would be misguided. AEW’s strength lies in doing things its own way, building long-term stories, developing new stars, and connecting with fans authentically. Chasing WWE’s moves would be a distraction from that core identity.
WWE’s recent attempt to undercut AEW’s success, including the sudden revival of Evolution and rushing Goldberg’s retirement match, didn’t just fall flat. It backfired. Even WWE fans voiced criticism. Instead of overshadowing All In, the move only reinforced the growing perception that WWE is the one scrambling to keep up.
AEW doesn’t need to look over its shoulder, it just needs to keep moving forward.
“Hangman” Leads The Charge
At the center of this new chapter is the newly crowned AEW World Champion, Adam “Hangman” Page. His emotional victory represents not only a personal triumph but also the start of a new era in AEW. With his character’s rich narrative arc, from anxious millennial cowboy to confident locker-room leader, Page has become one of the most beloved and complex figures in wrestling today.
The future looks exciting. A showdown with MJF feels inevitable, one that could define AEW’s next marquee rivalry. The tension has been subtly brewing, and when the time is right, a “Hangman vs. MJF” feud could be AEW’s next great storytelling centerpiece.
There’s also unfinished business with Swerve Strickland. Though they may currently stand on respectful terms, the generational rivalry between these two is far from over. Their contrasting styles and charisma promise more fireworks in the future.
The Women’s Division Finds Its Stride
Quietly but steadily, the women’s division has evolved into one of the company’s most compelling aspects. After years of criticism and inconsistent booking, the current roster has blossomed into one of the strongest lineups in the AEW’s history.
Toni Storm continues to redefine her character with every match, while Mercedes Moné’s presence has brought mainstream attention and veteran star power. Rising talents like Queen Aminata and Thekla are adding depth, while international names like Mina Shirakawa are injecting a fresh energy into the division.
Even with the recent departure of Mariah May, the division doesn’t feel diminished, it feels reinvigorated. There’s a sense of direction and investment that wasn’t always present in AEW’s earlier years.
Looking ahead, fans are eager to see more from underutilized stars like Athena, Billie Starkz, and Nyla Rose. If AEW continues to spotlight the division consistently, they have the potential to lead the industry in women’s wrestling innovation.
