Adam Page kicked off his career more than a decade ago. He wrestled in different promotions before joining AEW. Before signing with Tony Khan's company, Page had an opportunity to achieve a childhood dream.
Page grew up watching WWE and dreamt of becoming one of its superstars. Shortly before signing a contract with AEW, he received an offer from WWE. However, surprisingly, he turned it down.
The 30-year-old explained his decision to turn down WWE's offer in an interview with Brian Campbell on State of Combat.

"I guess when I was a kid that was [what] you wanted to do—you wanted to grow up and be in the WWE because it's the biggest thing ever—but it just didn't feel right and didn't become a goal for me anymore. It wasn't something that became an interest to me because of the name brand alone," he said.

Page joined AEW in January 2019. He teamed up with Kenny Omega to capture the AEW World Tag Team Championship nearly a year later. Page and Omega's reign lasted 228 days before losing their titles to FTR at the All Out pay-per-view in September 2020.
