Tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite ended with what was intended to be a contract signing between Swerve Strickland and Hangman Adam Page ahead of their match at All Out in Chicago.
As Swerve sat inside the ring waiting for Page to come out, a look at the screen revealed that Page was not at the UWM Panther Arena…but at the childhood home of his rival.
Strickland, who previously celebrated purchasing the home thanks to bonus money from a recent contract extension, was forced to watch as the Hangman berated him for “slipping up,” running down Strickland’s story about being raised in the home as he began pouring gasoline on the floors.
Page then took a seat outside the home, eventually tossing aside a match that set the house ablaze as Page reiterated his promise to take everything away from the man that invaded Page’s own home months ago.
With the Hangman making good on his promise to “burn Swerve’s world down,” Page is bent on finishing the job when he faces Strickland this Saturday inside a steel cage, when All Out emanates from the NOW Arena just outside Chicago, Illinois.
