Hangman Page Beats Kyle Fletcher to Retain AEW World Title at All Out 2025

"Hangman" Adam Page defeated TNT champion Kyle Fletcher at All Out on Saturday to retain the AEW World Championship.

Both Page and Fletcher entered All Out coming off impressive title defenses at Forbidden Door last month, as Fletcher beat New Japan Pro-Wrestling star Hiromu Takahashi and Page got the better of MJF.

That led to them being on opposing sides of an All-Star eight-man tag team match on the Sept. 3 episode of Dynamite, as Fletcher teamed with Josh Alexander and The Young Bucks against Page, Kenny Omega and JetSpeed.

Fletcher went on to win the match for his team by pinning Knight, and he put an exclamation point on the victory when he hit Page with a brainbuster onto a steel chair.

A few nights later on Collision, Fletcher was clearly emboldened by his victories at Forbidden Door and on Dynamite, so he laid down an AEW world title challenge to Hangman for All Out.

On the Sept. 10 edition of Dynamite, Page faced off with Fletcher's Don Callis Family stablemate in Alexander and beat him to regain some of his considerable momentum.

Fletcher confronted Page after the match, as he was looking for an answer regarding his challenge, and Page was quick to accept under one specific condition.

Hangman, who expressed his belief that Fletcher wasn't yet ready to become world champion, urged The Protostar to go into battle on his own at All Out without any help from the Don Callis Family.

That shifted the focus toward a high-caliber world title match between two of the best in-ring performers in wrestling today rather than the antics of Don Callis and his stable.

Fletcher pushed Hangman to the limit at All Out, but Page once again persevered and emerged with his AEW World Championship reign still intact.
