Hangman Adam Page’s first appearance since capturing the AEW World Championship is set.

Page will team with Mark Briscoe and Powerhouse Hobbs to take on Death Riders members Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta on Wednesday’s episode of Dynamite, as announced by Tony Khan on Tuesday.

The bout is scheduled to be at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, Illinois, kicking off a multi-week residency at the venue for AEW.

Page is riding the momentum of a 35-minute Texas Deathmatch win against Moxley in the main event of AEW All In from the Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, from last weekend. The massive result concluded the 273-day reign of Moxley and started Page’s second campaign with the title.

While Castagnoli and Yuta were also unsuccessful at Saturday’s pay-per-view, they received the last laugh in their six-man tag titles bout by attacking The Opps afterward. The incident caused world trios champ Samoa Joe to get stretchered out of the venue, and likely motivates Opps teammate Hobbs ahead of his appearance on Wednesday night.

The six-man tag bout is the first segment announced for Wednesday’s card.
