“Hangman” Adam Page defeated Powerhouse Hobbs in a Falls Count Anywhere match before establishing a brand new stipulation to his upcoming title defense during “AEW Dynamite: Blood & Guts.”
The bout began in one in every of the 2 rings but quickly saw things taken into the second before eventually making approach to the skin of the rings. Hobbs drove Page back down against the steel steps before bringing him back to where the bout began, wearing him down on the canvas with offense designed to punish the torso.
Page tried to fight back and set Hobbs up for the Buckshot Lariat, only to be shut down and brought to the skin once more, Hobbs setting Page up for a powerbomb on the announcer’s desk before getting backdropped onto the ground. Page then took Hobbs into the group to press his advantage.
Hobbs got the primary near-fall, planting Page through a table with a spinebuster for a two-count, taking him further into the group and going for a World’s Most Dangerous Slam off the overhang. Page fought out of the move, removing his boot and getting a run-up down the steps to hit Hobbs, sending him falling off through a set-up that sparked out upon impact. Page then descended the steps to make the duvet, securing the winning pinfall.
After the match, Samoa Joe and Katsuyori Shibata emerged to ambush Page and do further damage within the ring because the Double Steel Cage began to return down. Eddie Kingston and Hook emerged to make the save, fighting Joe and Shibata off to go away the three standing within the cage. Page then said that if Joe wanted him inside a Steel Cage, he need only to have asked, thus their World Championship match at Full Gear can be contested inside a Steel Cage.
