Hangman Page earned himself a shot at MJF and the AEW Men’s World Championship after beating Andrade El Idolo at AEW Grand Slam Australia, and that match will go down on the Revolution pay-per-view on March 15. Nonetheless, following the 2 men’s face-to-face confrontation on the February 18 episode of “AEW Dynamite,” Revolution is perhaps the ultimate time Page ever challenges for the richest prize in All Elite Wrestling.
After trading insults back-and-forth where each men told one another how much they hate each other, Page stated that he wanted the match at Revolution to be the ultimate time he ever steps within the ring with MJF, meaning that the match needed a stipulation fitting of the occasion. The fans in attendance wanted a Texas Death Match, but MJF refused by saying the Revolution major event will probably be a straight singles match, which led Page to give you a counteroffer. Page will allow MJF to select the stipulation for the match and in return, Page won’t ever challenge for the AEW Men’s World Championship ever again if he doesn’t leave Revolution with the victory. MJF accepted, stating that he’ll reveal the stipulation in a single week, but Page made sure to let the champion know that if he wants the offer to face, a Texas Death Match should be chosen.
Page has been involved in six Texas Death Matches during his AEW profession, winning all but one among them. He’s beaten Lance Archer, Adam Cole, Christopher Daniels, and Jon Moxley under the Texas Death rules, with the only loss coming on the 2023 Full Gear pay-per-view against Swerve Strickland. As for MJF, he has been in his fair proportion of violent battles over time, but he has never competed in a Texas Death Match during his entire profession.
