As reported first by Wrestling News Observer, the match between PAC and ‘Hangman’ Adam Page at AEW’s Double or Nothing has been called off due to creative differences. The two competed in a match during Dragon Gate’s UK event, purely to make up for them not getting to wrestle in Las Vegas this coming weekend.
Speculation suggests that PAC refused to take a loss whilst holding onto the Open the Dream Gate title, a reign which he has taken very seriously since picking it up upon his return to Japan. The PAC/Page match in Nottingham ended via disqualification, which leaves the possibility for AEW to pick up the feud again somewhere down the line. In the meantime however, PAC will not be appearing on Saturday and Hangman will be competing against an unknown opponent, which could be one of many potential surprise appearances.
This is a huge disappointment to kick things off during Double or Nothing week. Hopefully this isn’t the start of a rocky road for AEW now they’ve signed with TNT, who looks to make a more legitimate wrestling product. PAC was one of the biggest acquisitions for AEW, so let’s hope Cody and The Bucks can work around these creative differences and bring him back down the line.
