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

#2 CM Punk recently expressed interest in getting Hangman's title

While Hangman has been busy with his epic feud with Bryan Danielson, Daily's Place recently got to host a major AEW veteran star. In his first ever promo at Daily's Place, CM Punk received loud cheers when he entered the ring with the mic in his hand. After a few appreciative words directed towards Jim Ross, he proceeded to resume his feud with MJF. However, Punk also indicated that JR's words about how you one shouldn't be on AEW if he didn't want the championship belt is also something he believes in.

CM Punk is up for a match with Wardlow next in his feud against MJF. Once that is resolved, all signs point to Punk going after the gold at one point. 2022 might just be the year when the Best in the World gets to taste the glory of being AEW champion, if he is able to win it from Hangman Adam Page.

#1 MJF has also proclaimed that he deserves Hangman's Title belt

MJF has already plainly shown his ambition and interest in winning the AEW world championship title. However, he hit a snag in the form of his first loss in 2022 by disqualification, due to an interference from CM Punk. The Best in the World also stated that he is going to make MJF's pursuit of Hangman's belt very difficult.

While the MJF-Punk feud is still ongoing, Tony Khan might just cash in on the speedily rising heel's ability to pit him against Hangman later in 2022. Any feud that involves MJF is guaranteed to be a success, and Hangman's talent makes it even more awesome. The Salt of the Earth may go on to win the belt and become a heel champion, depending on how the show progresses.
