5 AEW stars who could challenge Hangman Page for the World Championship next

#4 Darby Allin will benefit from a high profile feud against Hangman

Much like Hangman Adam Page, Darby Allin is also a homegrown AEW star. Tony Khan is seemingly investing in young stars who are meant to become All Elite's future icons. Darby certainly fits the bill with a devil-may-care fighting style. Sting's protege hardly seems to care how much damage he does to himself when he is inside the ring, and the audience always responds to his high risk moves with shocked gasps and loud cheers.

Darby Allin is one of the hottest babyfaces right now. A feud with Hangman might not require a heel, if handled properly. A friendly rivalry can also work effectively for a change. On the other hand, Hangman could also take the conventional road and turn heel after he becomes arrogant in his reign. The possibilities are endless, but it is certain that a battle between these two would be a major event in AEW history.

#3 Hangman Page might be challenged by Jon Moxley when he returns

With Jon Moxley's return to AEW looking more and more certain by the minute, AEW is getting ready for a roaring welcome. Moxley was replaced by Miro in the championship eliminator tournament, due to him leaving temporarily from the active scene. He has since had a prolonged absence due to his decision to enter into an inpatient alcohol treatment program.

Now that Jon Moxley is returning, the possibility of him going after the AEW World Championship belt again is not out of the question. Moxley can claim he deserves a shot at taking back his belt. This could also have the former AEW Champion turning heel to challenge Hangman.

The feud between wrestlers with so much clout will be great for AEW ratings, which is something Tony Khan is aware of. Moxley is especially gifted with top notch talent in cutting compelling promos. Everything indicates that if this rivalry comes to fruition, it will be spectacular to watch for the fans.
