Why Jon Moxley Should Beat Adam Page At AEW Revolution 2023 (& Why Page Needs To Win)

One of the marquee matches at the upcoming AEW Revolution PPV is the Texas Death Match between Hangman Adam Page and Jon Moxley, which is going to be a hard-hitting encounter. Fans are expecting this to be a violent and bloody battle, and considering the fact Moxley has won twice and Page has won one, there is plenty on the line here.

The expectations are high for this match as they are two of the top stars in the entire company that always delivers, and that is what makes it hard to predict. Arguments can be made for why each man should win the match in their first PPV appearance of the year, but ultimately only one man can have their arm raised.

10 Adam Page: Complete His Revenge Story

This storyline began because Adam Page wanted to prove himself, and then it kicked onto the next level when he sustained a legitimate concussion. It was a serious situation for him, and his return was an exciting moment as he looked to gain revenge for the fact Jon Moxley didn't seem to care about hurting him.

This is the big PPV match, and typical storylines would dictate that this is where he gets his revenge and secures the major win. It would wrap up this storyline neatly, and it doesn't hurt Moxley too much as he'd have already won twice.

The two men have had three matches so far, and while Adam Page secured one victory it is Jon Moxley that has dominated proceedings. He won twice, including the match that started it all with the referee stoppage bringing an end to the match that had the AEW World title on the line.

Moxley's domination is something that can be a specific story point, as not everything needs to be done with 50/50 booking. That is a trope that AEW typically avoids, therefore seeing him win wouldn't be a shock.

8 Adam Page: It's His Stipulation

It might have been Jon Moxley that called for this to be a Texas Death Match, but it is Adam Page that has a greater record with this stipulation. He's competed in two of them so far in AEW, and he remains undefeated heading into this.

Fans expect him to be good at this as that is what he has proven over the years. Page is a hard-hitting wrestler and he can adapt to those situations by using weapons while sustaining a lot of punishment, which has allowed him to thrive in this setting.

7 Jon Moxley: Blood & Guts

While Adam Page might have won both the Texas Death Matches that he has been involved into this point in AEW, Jon Moxley is arguably the most violent wrestler in the entire company. He hasn't just competed in death matches, but Moxley brings the aggression to everything he does.

Seeing him bleed has become a common occurrence in AEW matches, therefore having him win this to continue that element of his career would not be a shock to see either, as it would make perfect sense.

6 Adam Page: Helping To Establish Top Babyfaces

Jon Moxley is an established name in the wrestling world due to finding success at the highest level of WWE, and no matter what happens in his career he will always remain at that level. However, Page is still growing in that realm, even if he has been the World Champion already.

In the eyes of the casual fans, that is something that he is still proving, and a major PPV victory like this against someone on Moxley's level would only help to establish the fact that he is one of the top babyfaces, which is what the company wants to make right now.

5 Jon Moxley: End The Storyline

With Jon Moxley having won two matches and Adam Page with one, if Moxley was to lose there could be an argument that the storyline should then continue. However, Moxley winning this encounter would give the storyline a definitive ending.

That isn't necessarily a bad thing, as sometimes AEW has a tendency to drag rivalries on for a lot longer than they need to, rather than keeping things short and sweet, which this rivalry has the potential to do.

4 Adam Page: Create A World Championship Challenger

Even though both of these men are former AEW World Champions, Jon Moxley is someone who can be slotted into the title scene at any point. Considering how recently he just won the gold it is likely AEW will avoid putting him there for the foreseeable future.

However, when it comes to Adam Page a victory here would help to push him back up to that level which could be crucial if MJF ends up retaining his title. Having a heel champion requires a top-level babyface to challenge and Page could bring that after a win.

3 Jon Moxley: Back To Winning Ways

AEW only has a set amount of PPVs each year, therefore wrestlers are always looking to secure victories on them to boost their star power. Jon Moxley was defeated in his most recent PPV appearance at the hands of MJF, which he will want to put right.

The company could decide to give Moxley the win here to quickly get him back on track, which would be an interesting decision considering the fact he never got a rematch against MJF for the title he lost.

2 Adam Page: Takes Him To Another Level

Adam Page has been a tremendous performer for the company and there is no denying that he is one of the biggest stars in AEW. However, he is just a notch below the level of the likes of Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley, which is why having him win would be wise.

Page could benefit from the victory as it would establish him as the dominant man in this feud which could then take him to the next level. Establishing him as one of the ultimate babyfaces in the company is something that would help AEW a lot moving forward.

1 Jon Moxley: Potential Heel Turn

During the most recent episode of AEW Dynamite the entire Blackpool Combat Club, other than Bryan Danielson, began acting like heels. Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta displayed this behavior and so did Jon Moxley against Evil Uno which could be leading to a full turn.

If that is the case, then having Moxley win the match against Adam Page aggressively could help to establish that if an angle was shot to wrap up the encounter, changing the dynamics of the faction.
