The Young Bucks Call Hangman Page The ‘Future Of AEW’

AEW Executive Vice Presidents Matt & Nick Jackson of The Young Bucks have praised Hangman Adam Page, calling him the future of AEW.

Speaking with Sports Illustrated, The Bucks agreed that AEW World Champion Kenny Omega is on the run of his career, but Page’s time to be face of the promotion will come.

Recalling handpicking Page for The Bullet Club while with NJPW, Matt and Nick said:

Nick: “I knew he was special when we specifically told [New Japan Pro-Wrestling referee and executive] Tiger Hattori that he needed to join the Bullet Club. He just needed the push to get to where he is now. There’s no doubt that Hangman is the future of AEW. He is arguably the most over guy in our company and I feel like his backstory is very relatable to the fans, which makes his character so compelling. Him and Kenny Omega is box office.”

Matt: “Kenny is the greatest singles wrestler in wrestling and we’ve said it for years. Any show that doesn’t have an Elite match in it is going to suffer or just simply not be as good. He’s just like us, always thinking outside the box. No idea is too crazy. That’s how we keep challenging ourselves to get to that next level. Hangman will be the center of the company long after we’ve all had our moment in the sun. But right now, Kenny is king and he’s on the run of his life.”

Page will challenge Omega for the AEW World Title at Full Gear on November 13. Bryan Danielson and Miro are set to clash in the finals of the AEW World Championship Eliminator tournament during the pay-per-view.

Miro replaced Jon Moxley during Wednesday’s semi-final, submitting Orange Cassidy to advance. AEW has reportedly changed the former TNT Champion’s creative direction several times recently.
