5 Potential New Opponents for Adam Page at AEW's 'Double or Nothing'

Over the past few days, the rumour mill has been running wild with bad news about AEW's Double or Nothing, and it has been all but confirmed that PAC will no longer be wrestling Adam Page at the companies debut show. Dave Meltzer has reported that it's due to 'creative differences', with speculation that PAC was going over Page here, but refused to lose to Kenny Omega at a later date, but regardless, it's a big time disappointment.

There's also the big possibility that it's a work, but airing on the side of caution, today we've decided to assume that it's a legitimate situation, and will be looking at alternatives for AEW's next big star.

So without further ado, sit back and read along as we look a few days into the future for All Elite Wrestling's 'Double or Nothing', and give you 5 possible replacements for PAC if he will indeed not be wrestling Adam Page.

#5 Joey Janela

This one is last on our list given that the two wrestled at All In back in September, but given how fun and exciting of a match it was, there's a certain possibility that they could lean on it again for a fun, hardcore style match.

Janela has already been announced for the Casino Battle Royale, and it's clear that he's a rising star within the wrestling business, so perhaps a win there would be better for him, but we've seen how fun this contest could be.

Ultimately, this one is very unlikely, but given the lack of top stars the company has (that isn't already in a match on the show), Janela is a real possibility. There are also a few surprises AEW could throw our way, but if they want to go with someone already on the roster, The Bad Boy is a great alternative.

#4 Joey Ryan

Joey Ryan and Adam Page had one of the most interesting feuds in all of wrestling in 2018, but they didn't even face off in an official match, and if The Young Bucks bring their friend into the fold, it's a certain possibility.

Ryan may not be the best in-ring worker, but he has the support of the wrestling fans, and given his experience and history with Hangman, it makes more sense the further you look at it.

It's unlikely that AEW will bring the penis Druids from All In along with The King of Dong Style, but Ryan deserves an opportunity with a big company, so this one will happen sooner or later. It may not be the biggest name to replace PAC, but given what happened back at All In, if booked correctly, this could be the next step in a great saga, and the first big step in positioning Page as the next big star of pro wrestling.

#3 MJF

Given how closely he is associated with Cody on Being the Elite each and every week, it's clear that there's a big plan for him in the future. The Salt of the Earth MJF is one of the best character workers in the United States today, and given the fact that he's still in his very early 20's, he could play a big part in the long term future and success of All Elite Wrestling.

Like Joey Janela, he's already announced for the Casino Battle Royale, and while throwing him in such a high profile match so early may hurt the story they want to tell with him, it's a chance for him to shine on the big stage. Like Janela, this one is highly unlikely, but given that Hangman is being positioned as the companies top babyface, a battle with a heel like MJF would be quite fun, but maybe not to the standard they want to set straight off the bat.

#2 Jimmy Havoc

Jimmy Havoc is one of the greatest and most decorated performers in UK wrestling, so when he left Progress for greener pastures in AEW, it was clear that big plans lay ahead for The King of the Goths.

He may be known for his violent, deathmatch side, but Havoc is a great story-teller with some technical prowess of his own, and if AEW use him correctly, he could be one of the companies top heels.

He's now known as well in the States as plenty of other wrestlers on this list, and that means they may need to build him up before presenting him as a top star against the likes of Page.

The King of the Goths is a fantastic all around performer, and we've not seen him wrestle a lot of AEW's top stars, so if anyone is in line to become the breakout star of All Elite Wrestling in their first year, it's Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy F*N Havoc.

#1 Jon Moxley

Ever since news of his impending WWE release broke, the Moxley/Ambrose to AEW rumours have been swirling, and after recent comments by Jack Swagger, it's almost a certainty at this point. We don't know how he's going to come into the company, but we all assume he's coming, so if the company can find a creative way to introduce him as Page's opponent, it could be huge for them.

He's not going to come in and immediately be AEW's top star, as they've got a few guys already in the main event position, but if he can come in and be a company guy, it will be very beneficial for both parties.

In the report from Meltzer that talks about PAC not wanting to lose to Omega, he also mentions that AEW know they 'need to do something big' to replace the PAC/Page match, so what better way to do it than with a former World Champion in Moxley.
