Both Hangman and Swerve revealed their desire to challenge Joe for the AEW world title at Revolution, which caused a No. 1 competitor’s match in between them on the Feb. 7 episode of Dynamite.
Page and Strickland tossed whatever they had at each other for 30 grueling minutes, however no winner might be identified, leading to a time-limit draw. Page rejected Strickland’s ask for 5 more minutes, bring into question who would deal with Joe.
The choice was made that both Hangman and Swerve would challenge Joe in a three-way match at Revolution, which didn’t appear to agree with Joe or Page.
That match for the No. 1 contendership on Dynamite marked the 3rd time Page and Strickland clashed in an individually bout throughout their time in AEW.
Swerve was triumphant each of the very first 2 times, winning at WrestleDream and in a Texas Death Match at Full Gear in November.
While Page and Strickland were fighting it out, Joe was placing himself for a chance at the AEW World Championship, and he lastly got one at Worlds End in December versus MJF.
Joe acted as though he was helping MJF in his fight with The Devil and his minions prior to Worlds End, however it was exposed before the occasion that Joe was really dealing with The Devil.
He went on to beat MJF for the AEW World Championship at Worlds End, and it was exposed that Adam Cole was The Devil, flanked by Roderick Strong, Wardlow, Matt Taven and Mike Bennett.
Transformation marked Joe’s very first pay-per-view title defense because winning the champion, and regardless of taking on 2 of the leading competitors AEW needs to use, he succeeded.
