Adam Page’s status for AEW Revolution looks to be in serious doubt.
Page competed in the main event of the February 21st episode of Dynamite, teaming with Rob Van Dam and Hook to take on Samoa Joe, Swerve Strickland and Brian Cage. Towards the end of the match, Page was set up in the Muscle Buster but countered, tagged out and rolled out of the ring. As the camera cut to Page, the former World Champion repeatedly instructed the cameraman to stop filming him.
Fan footage from the event saw Page limping to the back and was overheard saying “It’s bad.” Page and Strickland were set to face Samoa Joe in a 3-way match for the World Championship Revolution, but Page’s involvement is in serious doubt.
How Serious Is Adam Page’s Injury?
When discussing the injury and Page’s status for Revolution on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that AEW will have to address this in the next few days as the pay-per-view is just over a week away. Additionally, someone at the taping overheard Page saying that it was a suspected broken ankle:
“They’ll have to say something. It would be on Saturday’s show one way or the other, if they don’t announce something even sooner. But I think that on Saturday show they’re gonna have to address it if they think that he can’t go. Just the nature of what happened, the preliminary thing. I mean, I heard from someone who was at ringside and said, when he was on the ground like right in front of him. He was basically saying, he thought his ankle was broken. So, hopefully not.
Sometimes a broken ankle does heal, I don’t say relatively quick, but it’s not like a six month thing. The nature of the break if it’s clean [Bryan Alvarez – It ain’t a 10 day thing]. No, no, no, no, absolutely not. Guys have done sh*t with broken ankles. I mean, it’s not gonna happen here if it’s truly broken. But guys have worked on broken ankles, believe it or not.”
Update – Take a breath, it was all part of a storyline!
