Hangman Page finally managed to dethrone Jon Moxley at AEW All In: Texas and win the World Championship. Immediately, he was put to the test as a champion. Page had to defend the title against Mox in a rematch. Following this, he had to defend the title against a familiar and cunning foe, MJF. At Full Gear 2025, Page faced his most dangerous challenger yet, Samoa Joe, in a Steel Cage match. Both men delivered a bloody, brutal spectacle. However, Hook proved to be the difference maker in the end as he betrayed Page and cost him the title. However, this might've been a huge booking mistake on the part of Tony Khan. In this article, we will list out three reasons why Samoa Joe dethroning Hangman Page at Full Gear was a mistake.#3. Big setback for Hangman Page's momentum as a top babyface in AEWAfter his vicious and brutal feud with Swerve Strickland, Hangman Page emerged as a top baby face who was finally ready to take on the challenge of Jon Moxley and the Death Riders. His resilience over the months had finally paid off when he freed the World Title from Mox's grasp. Page was finally AEW's biggest star.However, all the effort and time that went into making Page a top star has been thrown out the window after his Full Gear loss to Samoa Joe. Although the Samoan Submission Machine didn't beat Page on his own, a loss is still a loss, and this one has done more harm than good to the former World Champion's run.#2. MJF or Swerve Strickland was better suited to dethrone Hangman PageThis feud between Samoa Joe and Hangman Page seemed thrown together at the last minute. One second, they were tag team partners, and the next, Joe and Page are bickering like a bunch of children. This whole storyline seemed thrown together at the last minute.Instead, Tony Khan should've booked a returning MJF or Swerve Strickland to dethrone Page. The Cowboy has developed a lot of history with both men over the years, which would've made them the ideal candidates to dethrone Page.#1. Samoa Joe will be a transitional championAs soon as Samoa Joe won the AEW World Championship, Swerve Strickland made his return and attacked members of The Opps Dojo. It looks like Swerve is going to be the next challenger for Joe's World Title. Additionally, MJF is also waiting for his title shot.Therefore, it is likely that the Samoan Submission Machine is just a transitional champion until Swerve or MJF dethrone him. Therefore, he shouldn't have beaten Page at Full Gear if he was just going to be a transitional champion.
