On the October 18th episode of AEW Dynamite, “Hangman” Adam Page faced off against Jon Moxley in the main event. The AEW Championship match between the two had been heavily promoted, with Page cutting a fiery promo last week that garnered loads of praise from his fans as one of his best promos to date.
The match was a stunningly hard-hitting affair with the two combatants brawling long before the opening bell rang. Adam Page came to the ring first, but cut off Moxley in the crowd before he even made it to the ring. As chaos descended, Moxley suffered a cut and was bleeding heavily by the time the opening bell sounded. Once in the ring there was no let up in the intensity from both men. Each had opportunities to win but the action never slowed.
Adam Page Is Being Evaluated At A Local Hospital For What May Be A Concussion
However, the main event of AEW Dynamite came to an early and frankly scary conclusion. Jon Moxley exploded out of the corner with a monster King Kong Lariat which flipped the challenger inside out. As Moxley gathered himself the referee and the ringside doctor went to check on Page and quickly called a halt to the action as the challenger was clearly injured.
Jon Moxley was declared the winner but attention quickly turned to the welfare of Adam Page. The star wasn’t shown again in the ring, and replays of the incident were also not played. As the challenger was tended to, hype packages were shown for AEW Rampage, with Page leaving on a stretcher to chants of “cowboy sh*t” from the crowd.
Now, a report from PWInsider provides an early update on Adam Page following the injury. According to their source, it’s believed that Page may have suffered a concussion, but this information has not been confirmed. After being evaluated by medical staff backstage, Adam Page left the venue to be treated at a local hospital. There have been no further updates on his condition at this time.
Following the bout, Jon Moxley called out Casino Ladder Match winner MJF, who challenged Moxley to a match at AEW Full Gear. Moxley accepted, and the two will go one on one on November 19th.
Everyone at Inside The Ropes would like to send their best wishes to Adam Page. We will continue to report on more information as it becomes available.
