Why AEW Must Crown Hangman Page at All In: Texas
Read Time:2 Minute, 53 Second
We’re just days away from All In: Texas, AEW’s biggest show of the year and arguably one of the most anticipated events in professional wrestling. One of the marquee matchups headlining the card is the AEW World Championship bout between reigning champion Jon Moxley and the perennial fan favorite, Adam Hangman Page.
While the entire card is stacked, this match stands out not just for its star power, but for what it represents… The future of AEW. 2025 has been a resurgent year for the promotion. After a couple of rocky seasons filled with inconsistent storytelling, backstage issues, and stiff competition from WWE, the promotion has found its footing again.
Many fans and insiders have drawn comparisons between this current stretch and AEW’s golden era of 2020 to 2021. A large part of how the rest of 2025 unfolds depends on this match’s outcome. And for many fans, the answer is clear.
It’s time for Hangman Page to ascend once more as AEW World Champion.
The Perfect Time to Crown Hangman Page Again
Hangman Page is arguably the most organically beloved star AEW has ever produced. From his anxious millennial cowboy storyline to his emotional rise to the top in 2021, Page has always connected with fans on a deeply personal level. His authenticity, in-ring storytelling, and crowd connection have made him a cornerstone of the company… Even when he wasn’t holding the top title.
AEW has a golden opportunity to capitalize on Hangman’s momentum. Crowds are firmly behind him, and his feud with Moxley has added layers of personal and professional that only elevate the stakes. If Tony Khan wants 2025 to be remembered as the year AEW got its groove back, putting the belt back on Hangman is the move to make.
More than just a fan favorite, Hangman symbolizes growth, redemption, and resilience. His journey mirrors AEW’s own progress over the past two years. A Hangman victory at All In wouldn’t just be a title change. It would be a statement.
Moxley Has Delivered, But Change Is Needed
To be clear, Jon Moxley has been a reliable and compelling heel champion. His intensity and unpredictability bring a level of grit that’s hard to match. However, AEW’s main event scene is in need of a fresh direction. Moxley retaining could risk stagnation at a time when AEW can’t afford to play it safe.
With WWE doubling down on counter-programming and increasing its market share, AEW needs to be bold. A major title change at the biggest show of the year could generate headlines, boost morale, and re-energize the fanbase. Letting Hangman carry the world title again opens up fresh feuds. It also revitalizes the main event scene and shows the audience that AEW is moving forward. Not stuck in place.
All In isn’t just another PPV. It’s a defining moment for AEW. The company has made significant strides this year, and the momentum is palpable. But momentum is fragile. A misstep, like failing to pull the trigger on the most over wrestler in the company, could undercut months of progress.
AEW must seize this moment. Hangman Page is ready. The fans are ready. And AEW, now more than ever, needs a champion who embodies everything the company was built on: Passion, Storytelling, and Connection.
The time is now. Let All In be the night Hangman Page rises again.
