“Hangman” Adam Page’s next PPV challenger determined after confrontation with a former champ Samoa Joe on Dynamite – updated WrestleDream line-up

Samoa Joe blew up at “Hangman” Adam Page after they won a six-man tag match on tonight’s AEW Dynamite, noting that Hangman has never defeated him. Hangman, moments later, offered Joe a shot at his AEW World Title later this month on the AEW WrestleDream PPV.

Later on Dynamite, during a backstage interview, Joe said he wasn’t surprised by Hangman’s response. He said there is no misunderstanding between them. He said he’s been so preoccupied by the Death Riders, he lost track of who he is. He said he needs to remind Hangman of who he is. He said he has never defeated him. “On any day that you have ever existed, you have never been greater than me,” he said. He said he is standing in “deep sh–.”

Samoa Joe is a former AEW World Champion. Joe held the title for nearly four months starting on Dec. 30, 2023 through April 21, 2024. Joe was out of action earlier this year after suffering an ankle injury on the set of “Twisted Metal.”

The third-annual AEW WrestleDream takes place on Oct. 18 in St. Louis, Mo. at Chaifetz Arena. Last year’s event headlined with Bryan Danielson vs. Jon Moxley for AEW World Title. The original 2023 event included Bryan Danielson vs. Zack Sabre Jr. match.

The only other matches announced so far for WrestleDream are Jon Moxley vs. Darby Allin in an I Quit match and Kris Statlander vs. Toni Storm for the AEW Women’s Title. The Statlander-Storm match was also set up on Dynamite tonight.
