Is Adam Page a Heel or a Face?

Adam Page is currently a heel (bad guy) in All Elite Wrestling. For years, Page embodied the quintessential underdog, his relatable everyman persona resonating deeply with fans. However, a series of setbacks in early 2024 began to chip away at his optimistic demeanor. His transformation began in late February with increasing frustration and a more ruthless fighting style.

In February 2024, many considered him to exist in a bit of a grey area, which is a tweener personality. However, Page ditched this persona and turned heel at the AEW Revolution. During a three-way match for the AEW World Championship, Page did everything he could to get back his title and wanted to stop at nothing. He even assaulted the referees in frustration, turning heel for the first time since 2021.
