At next Saturday’s AEW Revolution 2024 pay-per-view event, Samoa Joe, Hangman Page, and Swerve Strickland will headline the show in a triple threat match. However, Page may miss the event.
In the main event of Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Joe, Strickland, and Brian Cage faced off against Page, HOOK, and Rob Van Dam. There were concerns that Page may have broken his ankle during the match, but it was simply a work.
On today’s edition of Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez explained what happened. He said,
“Hangman is not hurt. He worked an ankle injury. And the reason that he worked the ankle injury is because he has something going on in his personal life and he may not be able to work the pay-per-view. If he can’t work the pay-per-view then this is the cover story as to why he can’t work the pay-per-view, he injured his ankle. Virtually nobody knew about it and I don’t know if even the people in the match knew that he was going to do this.”
He added, “There were people very close to Hangman who even this morning didn’t know what was going on. I presume that him and Tony talked about it but I can’t tell you that for sure. The point of the story is, he is okay. He may work the pay-per-view, he may not work the pay-per-view and I don’t know if we’re going to know whether he’s going to work the pay-per-view or not until maybe the last minute. I don’t know what the personal issues are but they are there and that’s what’s going on.”
