Jon Moxley faces toughest AEW World Title challenge as he prepares to defend his championship at All In: Texas, where he will meet a highly motivated Hangman Adam Page. The title match arrives as speculation grows about whether former WWE competitor PAC, despite his recent injury, might intervene on Moxley’s behalf during his critical stretch of matches.
Moxley’s Path of Dominance Faces a New Threat
As the reigning AEW World Champion, Moxley has built an impressive resume, having bested most top talent within the promotion. Yet, with his upcoming defense at All In: Texas, the stakes are higher than ever as Hangman Adam Page prepares to challenge for the title. Page’s determination to regain the championship marks him as perhaps the toughest rival Moxley has encountered during his run at the top.
Before the awaited showdown with Hangman Page, Moxley must first take on Mark Briscoe in a singles contest on this week’s Dynamite. Known for benefiting from the support of the Death Riders stable, Moxley might have an advantage should PAC, one of his allies, attempt to get involved. PAC previously suffered a notable injury in a match against Swerve Strickland on the April 9 Dynamite, finishing the bout on one foot before needing help from AEW officials and leaving crutches afterward.
Injury Uncertainty Surrounds PAC’s Potential Return
It was subsequently revealed that PAC, previously a WWE star, would require about four months to recover from his injury, with the timeline subject to adjustments based on his healing progress. Although this recovery period makes PAC’s involvement in immediate matches uncertain, the possibility remains that he could still influence the outcome of the bout between Moxley and Briscoe, potentially tilting the scales in Moxley’s favor.
Hangman Page Secures Number One Contender Status
Hangman Page’s rise back into the title picture began when he defeated Will Ospreay in the Men’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Final at Double or Nothing, earning the right to challenge for the AEW World Title. His achievements have not gone unnoticed by names across the wrestling community, including respected voices like Bully Ray.
“It was so early in the promo, and I felt Hangman so much that I wrote down in my notes, should AEW wait on Darby Allin… or should they pull the trigger on Hangman right now, pull the trigger on Hangman at All In? Should Hangman Page be the guy to defeat Jon Moxley? Hangman should be the guy.” [H/T: WrestlingNews.co]

Page’s relentless drive and recent tournament win position him as a credible threat to Moxley’s championship reign, presenting the champion with what many see as his hardest challenge to date.
High Stakes and Unpredictable Outcomes as Title Match Nears
The looming showdown at All In: Texas brings significant anticipation, with the wrestling world watching to see if Hangman Page can finally end Moxley’s title run. The possible involvement of PAC adds another layer of unpredictability, given his current injury status and history with the Death Riders. As fans await the outcome, the AEW World Title match promises high drama and potential shifts at the top, ensuring this chapter will have lasting consequences for all involved.
