All Out 2025
AEW Men’s World Championship
TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher versus Hangman Adam Page (c)
On Wednesday night at September to Remember, Hangman Adam Page revealed that the contract for the match between Page and Kyle Fletcher stipulated that if anyone from the Don Callis Family comes out for the match? Fletcher immediately loses the TNT Championship.
Is winning the AEW Men’s World Championship by any means necessary worth it for Kyle Fletcher?
That will be the question going into this match, which should be the main event, but who knows. We know that based on the merchandise at the show it won’t be all about the Men’s World Champion. It won’t be about any champion. It will be about the Toronto boys in Christian Cage and Adam Copeland having their big hometown pop against FTR.
We know that match was once considered to be the main event, and that will just be another thing to make this match up feel more like a show back in 1992. Bret “The Hitman” Hart as WWF World Heavyweight Champion faced Shawn Michaels, who was at the time the WWF Intercontinental Champion. This champion versus champion match wasn’t slated to be the main event, as a tag team match featuring Macho Man Randy Savage and Ultimate Warrior was. Of course, Ultimate Warrior no showed, and they had to flip to Mr. Perfect as Savage’s partner. This moved the title versus title match to the main event.
So here we have a title versus title match getting bumped back up to the main event because a tag team match changed (no longer for the AEW World Tag Team Championship.) The other similarity is that Bret as Champion was looked upon as the present star of the company. Shawn was looked at as a potential future champion. This became true as Bret was the top star of the 90s and Shawn got his shot to be a main eventer in 1996.
Here we have Hangman Adam Page, on his second AEW Men’s World Championship run, presented as the present of AEW. Across the ring will be the Protostar, a 26 year old who just keeps developing and evolving as a wrestler and finally won the TNT Championship from Dustin Rhodes. He’s the future, a future main event player, getting his first shot at it.
That’s why this match really should be in the main event. Yes, it’s great to build around Christian and Copeland in Toronto, but so was CM Punk in Chicago, a much bigger moment and event, and All Out 2021 was not main evented by him. The AEW Men’s World Championship was the main event then, and should be here. Not just for Hangman’s legacy (this would be the second straight pay per view he doesn’t close out) but giving Kyle Fletcher a chance to main event an AEW pay per view.
AEW All Out has often been about giving opportunities to people who never had it before.
In 2019, it was Hangman Adam Page fighting Chris Jericho to become the first AEW Men’s World Champion.
In 2020, it was Maxwell Jacob Friedman getting his first AEW pay per view main event against Jon Moxley.
In 2023, it was putting the AEW International Championship as the main event and giving Orange Cassidy (miss you OC) his first AEW pay per view main event.
While 2024 didn’t have this opportunity, it did have a TNT Champion versus AEW Men’s World Champion match when Jack Perry failed to defeat Bryan Danielson. That also wasn’t the main event, which might be why this wasn’t originally planned to be either. Odd but it is what it is.
I would be remiss to not mention this isn’t the first match between the two. Hangman had to defeat Kyle Fletcher to get to Will Ospreay in the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Men’s Tournament. He also had to defeat Josh Alexander, which he had to do again this month as well. This will be Fletcher’s attempt at redemption and Page having to once again relive the tournament without a match with Ospreay following.
But it all comes back to the stipulation. Page wants Fletcher to do this the right way. Fletcher made sure to brainbuster Page through a table on Wednesday to show if he has to do it the right way? Page won’t be coming in 100%. The question you have to ask yourself is that under the influence of Don Callis, is it possible for anyone to do it the right way?
Right or wrong, these two should have one of the best matches you’ll see this weekend. The way the AEW Men’s World Championship should always be. The way you want an AEW pay per view main event to be.
