Jon Moxley is set to receive another opportunity to regain the AEW World Championship on the July 30 edition of Dynamite, but this time, the match will have strict conditions banning any ringside assistance. This development follows Hangman Adam Page’s victory at All In Texas, where he claimed the AEW World Title in a chaotic Texas Death match.
A Return Match for the AEW Championship with New Rules
At the All In Texas event, Hangman Adam Page ended Jon Moxley’s brief rule as AEW World Champion by winning a Texas Death match. The brutal match format allowed anything to happen, resulting in multiple wrestlers including the Death Riders, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, and Swerve Strickland getting involved, which contributed to Moxley’s defeat. Nevertheless, Moxley remains determined to challenge Page’s reign once more.
The ongoing conflict between Moxley’s faction, the Death Riders, and Page’s allies escalated on the July 23 edition of Dynamite. The Death Riders targeted Page’s supporters again, notably assaulting Colt Cabana in his native Chicago. In the episode’s main event, Mark Briscoe overcame Claudio Castagnoli, only to be attacked afterward by Moxley’s group. Hangman Adam Page intervened to protect Briscoe, confronting Moxley face-to-face. Page expressed a desire to prove himself to Moxley as someone different than he believes, before officially challenging Moxley to a rematch for the AEW World Title scheduled for July 30.
This upcoming match carries a significant change: unlike their previous encounter, no wrestlers or allies will be allowed at ringside, ensuring a one-on-one contest without interference. This stipulation highlights Page’s intent to test their rivalry in a more isolated and direct environment.
Unfolding Tensions Within AEW’s Wrestling Landscape
The feud between Jon Moxley and Adam Page reflects the intense atmosphere within AEW, fueled by continued attacks on Page’s friends and loyal supporters by the Death Riders. The absence of outside interference in their upcoming match represents a critical turning point to resolve the escalating hostilities.
Mark Briscoe’s recent involvement, especially after his clash with Claudio Castagnoli in Chicago, adds a fresh layer to the ongoing narrative between Moxley’s group and Page’s associates. The July 30 Dynamite showdown will be pivotal in determining whether Moxley can overturn his previous loss under these stricter conditions, or if Page can solidify his hold on AEW’s top prize.
Implications for AEW’s Championship Future
The rematch between Jon Moxley and Hangman Adam Page is more than just a title bout; it signals a potential shift in AEW’s internal power dynamics. The enforced ban on ringside allies aims to test both competitors’ pure wrestling ability and resilience, possibly setting a new standard for championship contests within the company. Fans will be watching closely to see if Moxley’s tenacity can reclaim the championship or if Page will continue to defend his reign successfully under these narrowed conditions.
