As the third edition of AEW Full Gear is fast approaching, fans have been wondering whether or not Hangman Page will fulfill his prophecy of becoming the world champion.
The rivalry between Omega and Page has been one of AEW's most engrossing. It has involved friendship, heartbreak, and betrayal. That will culminate this Saturday when Kenny Omega puts his coveted prize on the line against the no.1 contender, Hangman Page.
Tony Khan has gone all out in portraying two different facets of this storyline. After splitting up with his former tag team partner, The Cleaner reached the pinnacle of his career. Meanwhile, The Cowboy dealt with self-esteem issues which derailed his momentum.
Page seems laser-focused, heading into what is almost certainly the biggest match of his career.
The company has made Omega a force to be reckoned with during the entire pandemic era. It is hard to imagine him dropping the AEW World Championship.
Tony Khan must plan a decisive outcome to close the upcoming pay-per-view. A couple of swerves could give an exhilarating experience to anyone watching. That said, let's get down to five possible finishes for the World Championship match between Hangman Page and Kenny Omega.
#5 Kenny Omega retains his AEW World Championship clean at Full Gear
Kenny Omega retaining his AEW World Championship clean against Hangman Page shouldn't come as a surprise this Saturday. The Best Bout Machine has carried a rising company on his back during the pandemic era.
He's arguably one of the best, if not the best wrestler in pro wrestling today. The fact he has held the top prize for almost a year is a testament to the trust that the higher-ups at AEW have shown him.
There's no doubt Hangman Page has all the credentials in the world to be a champion. Is he capable of bringing more eyeballs and mainstream attention to the product than Omega?
It's a sad reality, but Page isn't as influential as Omega yet. This explains Tony Khan putting the company's top prize on stars like Chris Jericho and Jon Moxley in the first place.
With Bryan Danielson steadily emerging as the next possible contender for the world title, the company might book him to dethrone Omega down the road.
#4 Don Callis or The Young Bucks helps Kenny Omega put down Hangman Page once and for all
Kenny Omega's run with the AEW World Championship has been impressive. Despite this, there's no denying that The Young Bucks and Don Callis have helped him stay on the throne.
The latter even ambushed Hangman Page this past week on the go-home edition of Dynamite. Callis even helped The Cleaner become world champion a year ago. Given his involvement in Omega's title run, the company could use him as a catalyst to screw Page's redemption story this Saturday.
The same goes for Nick and Matt Jackson, as both men have assisted Omega's title defenses multiple times. A backlash over the decision would be inevitable as fans have been rallying around Page's quest to win the championship. Omega would endure significant heat on the way out. Only elevating the status of someone who puts him down in the future.
#3 Adam Cole accidentally costs Kenny Omega his AEW World title against Hangman Page
Adam Cole costing Kenny Omega this Saturday would be like killing two birds with one stone. It would make Hangman Page the next AEW World Champion, and also develop a rift between the two best friends.
This scenario would be the best possible way for AEW to make The Cleaner look strong in defeat. Fans have been clamoring to see a buzzworthy rivalry between Omega and Cole. Both men have had a rich history during their time on the indie circuit.
The Young Bucks even kicked Cole out of their faction to acknowledge Omega as their leader. Adam Cole even commented on the possibility of facing Omega down the road:
"I know a lot of people have been wondering if that’s going to happen. Right now, I don’t see it as a possibility, but you never know. It’s pro wrestling, never say never," Adam Cole said
If the company plants seeds for a feud this week, fans will go berserk over a potential split between The Elite members. Omega and Cole fighting over the leadership of The Elite, would become one of the most intriguing angles on AEW.
#2 Bray Wyatt debuts during the AEW Full Gear main event
Having the AEW World Championship match end without a decisive winner would be a long shot. But if Bray Wyatt was the cause, it would send fans into a frenzy.
This year's All Out ended with the shocking debuts of Adam Cole and Bryan Danielson. Tony Khan may continue the trend this Saturday by bringing in another noteworthy name, Windham Rotunda.
Hangman Page and Kenny Omega could deliver a classic bout. Then, as Page is about to cover Omega, the lights go off. This would leave everyone in a state of confusion and shock.
A sadistic version of Bray Wyatt standing in the middle of the ring would blow the roof off the building. The former WWE Superstar could lay waste to both men and end the show on a cliffhanger. Although the swerve could come at the expense of Page's potential title victory, the company could save his moment for a later date.
#1 Hangman Page defeats Kenny Omega clean to become the new AEW World Champion
Hangman Page dethroning Kenny Omega this Saturday would make sense from a storyline perspective. Page's redemption story has been brewing, and the company shouldn't waste any more time putting the world championship around his waist.
The main event scene is in need of a shake-up at the moment. That said, a title change would freshen up the scene in the men's division. Given that AEW Full Gear is the last pay-per-view of the year, Tony Khan should end the gigantic show on a positive note. The fans chanting 'Cowboy sh*t' at the arena as Hangman Page basks in his glory.
