Hangman Page may have punched his ticket to AEW Double or Nothing after a hard-fought win over Kyle Fletcher, but it turns out even some of the wrestlers involved still dont know whats coming next.
According to Fightful Selects Backstage Report Podcast, AEW talent participating in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament werent told who would be winning the whole thingor even whos going to main event All In this summer. Were told that a lot of the participants in the tournament werent told who was gonna win the Owen tournament, the report stated. They werent told who is going to main event All In, whos gonna compete for the world title.
All In is now less than three months away, but according to the report, theres confusion within the locker room. Im not sure if its because its being kept close internally or because they dont know yet, but they havent been told, the podcast added. That lack of clarity has some wondering how close AEW is to locking in their summer blockbuster card.
This all comes on the heels of the April 30 episode of AEW Dynamite, where Hangman Page defeated Kyle Fletcher in a brutal main event match to secure his spot in the Owen Hart Tournament finals against Will Ospreay at Double or Nothing on May 25. Page got a heros welcome in his home state, and the match delivered in physicalityincluding a nasty barricade bump that left Fletchers back shredded.
Despite the grueling action and a thunderous finish with two Buckshot Lariats, the match may have been overshadowed by whats happening behind the scenesor what isnt.
AEW has often kept major creative moves under tight wraps, but with massive events looming, its raising questions from fans and talent alike.
