After sharing the ring as partners during Wednesday’s sixth anniversary of AEW Dynamite, AEW World Champion Hangman Page and Samoa Joe left it as enemies.
Because of that, Page challenged Joe to a World title match at this month’s WrestleDream from St. Louis, Missouri, that was later accepted by the former champion.
The two teamed with Powerhouse Hobbs against The Death Riders on Dynamite, picking up a win after Page pinned Claudio Castagnoli thanks to an assist from Joe. Afterward, Page handed Hobbs his AEW Trios title and did the same for Joe when the belt fell to the mat. Joe then confronted Page and got into a verbal altercation that quickly became physical before security broke them up.
The two men have never gone one-on-one, but did battle over Joe’s then-World title at March 2024’s Revolution in a three-way that also included Swerve Strickland.
It will be Page’s fifth title defense while Joe is gunning for his second World title run and first since losing the title in April 2024 to Strickland. He has got one shot since losing the title, unsuccessfully challenging then-champion Jon Moxley this past May in a cage match.
