-“Hangman” Adam Page’s ankle injury at the end of AEW Dynamite was a worked injury. Bryan Alvarez of F4Wonline.com reports that the injury angle took place because Page has a personal situation that could keep him from appearing at the AEW Revolution pay-per-view.
-Madison Rayne indicated via social media (see below) that she is doing okay after taking a bump on her head late in her Dynamite match with Deonna Purrazzo.
Powell’s POV: It’s good to hear that both wrestlers are doing well from a health standpoint, and here’s wishing Page the best with his personal situation. I assume that the AEW World Championship match at Revolution would become a singles match between Samoa Joe and Swerve Strickland if Page is unable to appear, but that’s purely speculation on my part.
Hi 🙋🏼♀️ I’m okay! Thanks so much to everyone who celebrated my Dynamite return & those who checked in on me afterwards.
To those who have never stepped into a ring but tweeted awful things at me w/ zero knowledge of what actually happened- thanks for watching. Have a great day 🙃

I wish Hangman all the best, but Swerve and Joe should be the main event, and should be a great match.
Hopefully they can fix the story and get some heat on it, to draw more interest.
Why fake an ankle instead of having Swerve or Joe take him out, to set up the viciousness of the main event?
Unless Hangman didn’t tell anyone backstage, prior to the show, which one can see happening, as AEW wrestlers seemingly do what they want on live TV.
