Will Hangman Adam Page finally win the world title?

Hangman Adam Page is one of the best babyfaces in All Elite Wrestling, and fans cannot wait to see their favorite cowboy lift the AEW World Championship.

The Millennial Cowboy will take on Kenny Omega for the title at Full Gear 2021, and fans are hoping Adam Page's moment of glory will finally arrive in November.

The Adam Page and The Elite storyline has been building since 2017 and, since 2019, has been the biggest storyline. We might be reaching its final arc at Full Gear 2021.

Having won the Casino Ladder Match at Dynamite's second-anniversary show, Adam Page can put all doubts about his credibility to rest. However, is this the right place and time for his coronation?

Let's look at 3 reasons why Adam Page should win the AEW World Championship at Full Gear and 2 reasons why he should not.


#3. Why Adam Page should win the AEW World Championship: His story has been running for four years

Adam Page was a member of The Elite before tensions started to arise. Despite capturing the AEW Tag Team Championship with Kenny Omega, Page left The Elite and joined forces with The Dark Order.

Given that The Elite has consistently undermined Page and his ability, it's time for some comeuppance for the heel faction. Page winning the World Championship will silence everyone who doubted him.

Not only will it be the ultimate victory of good over evil, but also the perfect climax to one of the longest storylines in modern wrestling history.

#2. Why Adam Page shouldn't win the AEW World Championship: There are far bigger stars in the company

There is a reason Chris Jericho was the first-ever AEW World Champion.

When AEW started, despite having big indie and NJPW stars like Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, and Cody Rhodes, Le Champion was the biggest name.

Without Chris Jericho's run with the AEW World Championship, we probably wouldn't have seen the company get as much attention as it did. The world title often belongs to the most recognizable names in the company and, unfortunately, Hangman Adam Page isn't that. Not after the signings of Bryan Danielson and CM Punk.

If AEW wants to grow its audience, they need its biggest stars to be the face. As popular as Adam Page is with AEW fans, Bryan Danielson and CM Punk will get more mainstream attention. In such a scenario, should the Anxious Cowboy be the next world title winner?


#2. Why Adam Page should win the AEW World Championship: He is still incredibly popular with the fans

When Adam Page made his return to AEW Dynamite for the Casino Ladder Match, the arena erupted to welcome its hero. Due to personal reasons, he had been out for nearly two months.

When Adam Page and The Dark Order lost to The Super Elite, the former was more over than he'd ever been. It seemed like All Out will finally see a new champion crowned. However, it wasn't to be and fans had to wait to see Page in action again.

There were fears that AEW didn't strike the iron while it was still hot, but those fears were proven to be unfounded as the pop he received after winning the ladder match proved how ready the fans were to accept Adam Page as their new champion.

#2. Why Adam Page shouldn't win the AEW World Championship: Booking will get complicated for the company

The AEW World Title Eliminator Tournament has two clear favorites in Jon Moxley and Bryan Danielson. Because Mox is already a former champion and Danielson is new to the company and won't lose early, The American Dragon is the likeliest winner.

If Hangman Adam Page were to face Bryan Danielson as the AEW World Champion, AEW would have some tough booking decisions to make. Will they have Danielson lose his first match to a smaller star? Will Adam Page's title reign last just a few months?

We haven't even started on the face vs. face dynamic of the match. Hence, if AEW has Adam Page as its world champion, the booking decisions going forward will be quite complicated.


#1. Why Adam Page should win the AEW World Championship: He will be the first homegrown star as the face of the company

Much has been said about AEW recruiting former WWE stars. While the claims are exaggerated, all three AEW World Champions thus far made their names in other promotions. Chris Jericho and Jon Moxley in WWE, and Kenny Omega in NJPW.

While Hangman Adam Page had a solid fan following, it is AEW that gave him the platform to become a household name in wrestling. His winning the AEW World Championship will make him the first homegrown face of the company.

Sammy Guevara and Britt Baker are homegrown stars with titles around their waists, with Hangman Adam Page as the world champion, AEW will have a different look about it.
