The upcoming AEW All In: Texas event places Jon Moxley AEW World Championship reign at serious risk, as he prepares to defend his title against ‘Hangman’ Adam Page at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas on July 12. This high-stakes match could reshape the landscape of All Elite Wrestling, affecting not just Moxley but also key factions and rivalries within the promotion.
Jon Moxley’s Reign and Rise in All Elite Wrestling
After leaving WWE, Jon Moxley swiftly carved out a dominant reputation in All Elite Wrestling, debuting in 2019 at the Double or Nothing pay-per-view and embarking on a swift ascent. He achieved a series of career-defining victories, with the highlight being his win over Bryan Danielson at the 2024 WrestleDream pay-per-view, which earned him his fourth AEW World Championship. Throughout his reign, Moxley relied not only on his own resilience but also on the support of his faction, The Death Riders, featuring elite talents such as Claudio Castagnoli, Marina Shafir, Wheeler Yuta, and PAC.
The Threat Presented by ‘Hangman’ Adam Page
Moxley now faces what may be his most significant challenge yet in ‘Hangman’ Adam Page, known for his tenacity and connection with wrestling fans. As the champion enters Arlington—seen by some as enemy territory—Page looks to reclaim the AEW World Championship and disrupt Moxley’s leadership within the company. Should Page succeed, the aftershocks could be felt well beyond the title itself.
Possible Consequences if Moxley Loses the Championship
A loss for Moxley at AEW All In could set off seismic changes. The Death Riders, currently one of the most feared groups in All Elite Wrestling, might face a dramatic shakeup. Without their leader as champion, the unity holding competitors like Claudio Castagnoli, Marina Shafir, Wheeler Yuta, and PAC together could dissolve, paving the way for individual pursuits and potential betrayals as members consider new directions within Tony Khan’s organization.
Professional wrestling history has often shown that losing a major title can prompt stars to step away and regroup. Roman Reigns, Moxley’s former Shield teammate, famously did so after losing the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 40 to Cody Rhodes. Drawing on this precedent, Moxley might also take a hiatus if he falls to Adam Page, creating an opening for Page to lead AEW’s roster forward while Moxley recovers and reevaluates his position after a demanding reign.
The Future of AEW’s Top Contenders and Rivalries
If Adam Page walks out of Globe Life Field as the new AEW World Champion, the reaction in Arlington would be electric. Yet victory celebrations could prove brief. Page’s recent heated encounters with former World Champion Swerve Strickland suggest unfinished business, and Strickland appears determined to reassert himself in the main event scene. A swift rematch with Page could be set for AEW’s next major event, keeping the championship spotlight firmly focused on new rivalries and potential challenges.
The result of this high-profile showdown will not only determine the future direction of Jon Moxley, The Death Riders, and Adam Page, but also shape the path of other top stars like Swerve Strickland and the ongoing evolution of AEW’s World Championship scene. As July 12 approaches, all eyes remain on Arlington, where the fate of Moxley’s reign—and perhaps much more—will be decided.
