Hangman Adam Page is a man with a mission in AEW, but now the reason for his four-month absence from the company has been revealed.
At Revolution in March, Adam Page and Swerve Strickland continued their heated feud in a Triple Threat Match for the AEW World Championship with Samoa Joe. On that occasion, Joe escaped with the gold while Page did everything he could to prevent Strickland from walking away with the title.
However, Page subsequently disappeared from AEW without explanation, and during his absence, Swerve Strickland captured the AEW World Title, making Tony Khan’s company a true Swerve company.
Adam Page leaves AEW for family reasons
In July, Adam Page returned with renewed fire to take out Strickland, even joining Team Elite for Blood & Guts after Strickland led the AEW squad into battle. Page made his presence felt when Bryan Danielson defeated Swerve Strickland at All In for the AEW World Title, and now the two men will face off again in a Steel Cage Match on September 7 at All Out.
During a commercial between the two men on Dynamite, Strickland alluded to seeing Page with his pregnant wife and child, recalling breaking into Page’s house a few months earlier.
Now, Fightful Select has followed up on that comment and confirmed that Page’s wife was pregnant with their second child during his feud with Strickland, which was the reason for his long absence from AEW TV. The report noted that he had built extensive paternity leave into his contract with the company.
