On Collision, a video segment aired showing 'Hangman' Adam Page walking around his house with a drink in hand, seemingly reflecting on what has been going on in the past few months. He looked back on his time with The Elite, his suspension from the group, and his recent feud with Swerve Strickland.

Forbidden Door 2024 will take place on June 30. The Elite and Swerve Strickland will be competing in different matches at the pay-per-view. This has led many to believe that Page may show up at UBS Arena in Elmont, New York.
