As many expected, it will be Hangman Page defending his AEW World title against Samoa Joe at next month’s Full Gear in a rematch.
Joe earned the opportunity during Wednesday’s Fright Night edition of AEW Dynamite by winning a four-way eliminator over Hook, Bobby Lashley and Ricochet. The end came when Joe got Hook to tap out to the Coquina Clutch after Lashley chased out Ricochet and was unable to break up the submission in time.
Joe and Page faced off earlier this month at WrestleDream with Page picking up the successful title defense. Joe and his fellow Opps members Katsuyori Shibata and Powerhouse Hobbs congratulated Page before attacking him, resulting in Page later vowing revenge.
After Joe signed the contract post-match, Page snuck in the ring dressed as Tony Schiavone (clad in a Phantom of the Opera mask) to both take out The Opps and hit Joe in the head with a beer bottle.
Joe is looking for his second AEW World title reign and first since April 2024. Page will be trying for his sixth title defense since his own second reign began at July’s All In: Texas.
