Hangman Adam Page and Swerve Strickland will face each other in a steel cage at AEW All Out on September 7, 2024.

As recently reported, Page made his return to AEW in July and set his sights on the then-AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland.
Although a participant in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, Page wouldn’t win a shot at Strickland, with Bryan Danielson being victorious and becoming the new AEW World Champion at AEW All In on August 25.
With Danielson defending the AEW World Championship against Jack Perry on the upcoming PPV, Strickland and Page are set for the same event.
Strickland has, however, revealed that there was meant to be more to the feud between the pair in comments made to Fightful Select.

In an interview from earlier this year, Strickland stated that there were going to be more matches in the feud, which Fightful reports would have been a steel cage match that was set for late 2023.
In 2023, Page and Strickland crossed paths at WrestleDream in October and at Full Gear in November, with that match being a Texas Death Match.
2024 would bring us an AEW World Championship Number 1 Contender Match in February that would end in a time-limit draw with their next match being in March at AEW Revolution with Samoa Joe retaining the AEW World Championship against both men in a three-way.

The AEW Revolution match would be Page’s last appearance until July 2024 in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament on the Beach Break episode of AEW Dynamite.
Strickland revealed on last night’s Dynamite that Page’s wife was pregnant during the feud between the two.
With Page being written off television with a storyline injury, Fightful has now revealed that he had ‘extensive paternity leave’ as a part of his AEW deal.
