Hangman Page Beats Will Ospreay at AEW Double or Nothing to Earn Title Shot at All In

"Hangman" Adam Page beat Will Ospreay in the finals of the Men's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament at Double or Nothing on Sunday to earn an AEW World Championship match in July at All In.

Both men showcased their speed, power and aerial prowess in an electric clash between two heavy-hitting, high-flying stars.

One of the loudest pops of the night came when Hangman delivered a thunderous Moonsault, sending Ospreay crashing onto the apron several minutes into the match.

A perfectly timed counter superkick by Ospreay set him up for a prime pinfall opportunity. With Page draped over the ropes, Ospreay launched from the top turnbuckle, hitting a breathtaking backflip onto his opponent that nearly sealed the victory.

A brutal piledriver from Ospreay off the apron onto the hard floor left both men motionless, nearly resulting in a Page count-out. Moments later, the defending champion grew hungrier for the win, but a battered and barely standing Page kept enduring punishing takedowns and gut-wrenching near falls.

The crowd erupted in a fast-paced and chaotic finish, Page emerged victorious, snatching the win from the mayhem.

This year marked the fourth edition of the Owen Hart Cup, honoring the life and career of legendary pro wrestler Owen Hart. As has always been the case, the field for the men's tourney was stacked once again.

Ospreay had two spectacular matches en route to the finals, defeating recent signee Kevin Knight at Dynasty last month before taking down rival Konosuke Takeshita on Dynamite in the semis.

On the other side of the bracket, Page survived a tough test from a debuting Josh Alexander in the first round of the tournament, and he followed that up by besting Kyle Fletcher in the semifinals.

With that, two of AEW's best and most popular performers punched their ticket to Double or Nothing with a world title opportunity on the line.

Assuming he is still AEW world champ by the time All In rolls around, Jon Moxley will be the man to beat for the title, which is something many have tried and failed to do since he won it back at WrestleDream in October.

Last month at Dynasty, Mox defended the title against Swerve Strickland in the main event, and he got help not only from his Death Riders stablemates, but also from the returning Young Bucks.

Moxley was already difficult to beat, but now that he has insulated himself with even more allies, taking him down is a more daunting task than ever before.

Still, Mox was trending toward facing his toughest challenger to date regardless of the result of Sunday's match.

Page is a former AEW world champion who has been desperate to win it back since dropping it in 2022, and while Ospreay has yet to win a world title in AEW, he is considered by many to be the best in-ring worker in the world.

By virtue of his win over Ospreay at Double or Nothing, Page is now just one victory away from ending the AEW World Championship journey he has been on for the past three years.
