#3 Brian Cage defeated the top singles contender on AEW Dynamite
Hangman Page has been on a roll in AEW lately. Before this week's AEW Dynamite, he was undefeated in 2021. However, that streak came to an end thanks to Team Taz's most dominant monster — Brian Cage.
Brian Cage vs. Hangman Page kicked off the latest episode of AEW Dynamite. Team Taz's status has gone downhill in recent months, but Cage temporarily shattered that image by dominating Page throughout their contest.
Despite his physical superiority over Page, Cage still pulled off an upset victory just because of his opponent's status as the top singles contender in AEW.
This particular win also comes off as an interesting decision from a booking standpoint. After all, Page's defeat will change the landscape for every challenger waiting in line to grab a major title shot.
Kenny Omega and Hangman Page's history as former allies in AEW is the perfect long-term storyline for their eventual title clash. Meanwhile, members of Team Taz are currently involved in a program with Christian Cage. So how will Brian Cage's victory over Page make sense in the grander scheme of things?
