Hangman Page Can Never Challenge for AEW Title Again After Losing to MJF at Revolution

MJF defeated "Hangman" Adam Page in a gruesome Texas Death Match to retain the AEW World Championship at Revolution on Sunday, meaning Page can never challenge for the AEW world title again.

After beating Andrade El Idolo at Grand Slam Australia on Feb. 14, Page established himself as the No. 1 contender for MJF's title, but simply getting a championship opportunity wasn't good enough for Page.

Hangman requested a stipulation for the match, and while MJF was initially hesitant, he changed his mind when Page made a shocking declaration.

In exchange for a stipulation, Page announced that if he were to lose to MJF at Revolution, he would not be permitted to challenge for the AEW World Championship for the rest of his career.

The following week on Dynamite, MJF told Page he would flip a coin. If it went in Page's favor, the stipulation would be a Texas Death Match, but if MJF made the right call, the Revolution match would be a one-way No Disqualification match in which Page could be disqualified, but MJF could not.

MJF won the toss, but Hangman called him out for using a two-headed coin in order to cheat the system.

Because of MJF's actions, Page was ruled the true winner of the coin toss, and his request to make the Revolution bout a Texas Death Match was granted.

The Texas Death Match is widely considered Page's signature contest, as he has won several high-stakes matches with that stipulation.

That includes his victory over Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship at All In: Texas last summer.

With the stipulation on his side, all signs pointed toward Page regaining the title at Revolution, but MJF surprisingly came out on top, thus preventing Hangman from ever being able to hold AEW's top prize again.
