Speculation is swirling around the Hangman Adam Page AEW World Title match scenario, as new threats and potential replacements create uncertainty for All In on July 12 in Texas. With Hangman Adam Page having earned a title shot against Jon Moxley, a possible attack by Swerve Strickland could take him out of action, opening the door for Darby Allin to step in for the main event.
Uncertainty Surrounds Hangman Adam Page’s All In Title Shot
Hangman Adam Page recently secured victory over Will Ospreay in the Owen Hart Cup Final at Double or Nothing 2025, setting him up to challenge the reigning AEW World Champion, Jon Moxley, at All In. Yet danger now looms, as Page’s old rival, Swerve Strickland, might disrupt those plans. Strickland’s intent to target Page has become increasingly evident, signaling a personal vendetta that refuses to fade since their intense feud in 2023.
Swerve Strickland has repeatedly hinted at confronting Page physically, and his ongoing antagonism makes the threat of an attack before All In a real concern. If Strickland follows through and incapacitates Page, All In could see a dramatic change, with Darby Allin—recently brutalized by The Death Riders after standing up to Moxley—emerging as a sudden challenger for the AEW World Championship.
How Darby Allin Could Become the Contender
The scenario in which Darby Allin replaces Hangman Adam Page is gaining traction among fans and insiders alike. Darby, known for his resilience and history with Moxley, was one of the first competitors to confront the champion after his heel turn, only to be taken out months ago. If Hangman is sidelined, Allin could step in not just as a replacement, but as a pivotal figure seeking retribution and closure in an ongoing storyline. This possibility adds another layer of drama to an already heated title scene.
Swerve Strickland’s Ongoing Disputes and AEW Championship Turmoil
As the build-up to All In continues, the AEW World Championship remains in the grip of Jon Moxley and The Death Riders, who have held the title for over a year. Amidst growing unrest, Swerve Strickland’s refusal to align with Hangman Adam Page continues to fuel tensions. On a recent episode of Dynamite, Strickland directly accused Page of wrecking his own championship aspirations during this year’s Dynasty event, while Will Ospreay attempted, unsuccessfully, to mediate the situation.
The animosity escalated backstage, culminating in a brawl, after which Swerve took to social media to deliver his blunt assessment:
“Absolutely delusional,” he wrote.

Given the current chaos, it remains to be seen if any cooperation can be forged between Swerve Strickland and Adam Page to overthrow Jon Moxley and reclaim the AEW World Championship for the organization. The coming weeks, particularly in Texas at All In, promise significant developments that could reshape AEW’s main event scene.
