This episode is about one of AEW’s most intense rivalries, Swerve Strickland vs Hangman Adam Page. We’re breaking down the full story, from the first shot fired to the last blow landed.
We cover:
  • Swerve showing up on Dynamite and calling out Hangman
  • The personal shots that made this feel real — calling Hangman a failure, dragging his family into it
  • WrestleDream and how Swerve shocked everyone by beating him in Seattle
  • The insane Texas Death Match at Full Gear — probably the most violent match in AEW history
  • What this feud did for both guys: Swerve stepping up as a future world champ, and Hangman showing he still has that fire
  • How this rivalry helped build momentum heading into 2024 and reshaped the main event scene


This wasn’t just a feud for the sake of it. AEW gave it time, let it breathe, and it paid off in a big way. Swerve felt like a made man after this, and Hangman reminded people why he was AEW’s first real homegrown champ.
