Hangman Page addresses The Opps

AEW World Champion Hangman Page opened the show with an in-ring promo. Page stated he gave Samoa Joe a title match at WrestleDream because he owed him for his help against The Death Riders.

Page said that Joe, Katsuyori Shibata, and Powerhouse Hobbs became the very thing they claimed to hate when they attacked him after his clean victory. He concluded that Joe made a mistake by thinking he was the hunter, promising that Page was now hunting Joe and would “ruin his life.”

PAC vs. Tomohiro Ishii
