Hangman Page is doing fine after this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite.
Page was seen holding his ankle at the end of his match on the February 21 episode of AEW Dynamite. Hangman ultimately needed help to the back and was spotted telling cameras not to film him. This incident drew concern from fans, but it turns out that he was just playing things up.
Fightful (via Fightful Select) is reporting that this was an angle for TV, and Hangman was fine once he made it backstage. It was noted that it’s possible that Page’s “injury” could be written into television, but he’s totally fine otherwise.
AEW did not comment on Page’s status in an official capacity. However, one talent speaking with the outlet said that Hangman Page was okay and was “just good at his job.”
Hangman teamed up with HOOK and Rob Van Dam on Wednesday against Samoa Joe, Swerve Strickland and Brian Cage. Check out a recap of the match below:
