Adam Page Opens Up About His First Reign as AEW World Champion

Adam Page, also known as “The Hangman,” recently sat down for an interview with Uproxx to discuss his first reign as the AEW World Champion. Page, who is set to face off against Swerve Strickland in a Texas Deathmatch at the upcoming Full Gear pay-per-view event, spoke candidly about his experiences and the challenges he faced during his championship run.

In the interview, Page expressed how much he enjoyed his feud with Strickland, stating that it provided him with the mental challenge he needed to reignite his passion and desire for the industry.

“I needed to be challenged mentally. I needed something to really sink my teeth into and regain some passion and desire that maybe had slipped away to some extent over the past year and a half. (Strickland) said some things that were hard to hear, but I needed to hear them and I’m very glad that I did because it’s motivated me to fix those things. All the things that have happened since then have been even bigger motivators to be the best me that I can be.”

Page also reflected on his first world title reign, which came to an end at the hands of CM Punk in 2022. Despite the physical and mental toll it took on him, Page expressed his pride in what he accomplished and his eagerness to have another reign in the future.

“The whole thing was taxing on my body, on my mind, on every part of life that you can imagine. Looking back at it, I can always say… I wish I had done something differently or this or that or had it ended this way or that way. But I’m not going to do that. I’m proud of it. It’s more than most wrestlers ever accomplish in their lifetime. I should be proud of that and I am proud of it. And I’m looking forward to doing it again.”
