Hangman Adam Page has reflected on his AEW World Title reign ahead of the two-year anniversary of his title win.
At AEW Full Gear 2021, Hangman Adam Page defeated Kenny Omega to win the AEW World Championship in the main event.
Page went on to hold the title for the next six months with successful defenses against the likes of Bryan Danielson, Lance Archer and Adam Cole before losing the gold to CM Punk at AEW Double Or Nothing 2022.
Ahead of his showdown with Page at AEW WrestleDream, Swerve Strickland said that Hangman had fallen off since losing the AEW World Title.
Speaking to Raj Prashad of Uproxx, Hangman Adam Page admitted that Swerve hit him with some hard truths in that promo. He said:
“I needed to be challenged mentally,”
“I needed something to really sink my teeth into and regain some passion and desire that maybe had slipped away to some extent over the past year and a half.”
“(Strickland) said some things that were hard to hear, but I needed to hear them and I’m very glad that I did because it’s motivated me to fix those things.”
“All the things that have happened since then have been even bigger motivators to be the best me that I can be.”
Reflecting on his AEW World Championship run, Hangman said:
“(I was) so deep in it … almost too much. The whole thing was taxing on my body, on my mind, on every part of life that you can imagine.”
“Looking back at it, I can always say… I wish I had done something differently or this or that or had it ended this way or that way.”
“But I’m not going to do that. I’m proud of it. It’s more than most wrestlers ever accomplish in their lifetime.”
“I should be proud of that and I am proud of it. And I’m looking forward to doing it again.”
Swerve Strickland defeated Hangman Page at AEW WrestleDream.
Their rivalry will continue when the two stars meet in a Texas Death Match this Saturday, November 18 at AEW Full Gear.
