AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam will deliver a dream match that is years in the making and several title matches, not to mention the potential for some massive debuts. Still, there is a top star in the promotion who has missed out on all the big events that have been going on in All Elite Wrestling in recent weeks.

Hangman Page is at the center of the biggest long-term storyline that AEW has been producing since the inception of the company. When Page signed with AEW in 2019, he said that his goal was to become the AEW World Champion. But the fan-favorite failed to become the first champion when Chris Jericho defeated him at All Out 2019.

This loss led to a crisis of confidence, but Page's partnership with Kenny Omega led him to his first title reign in the promotion. The duo won the AEW World Tag Team Championship and had a successful run that was over eight months long before it ended at All Out 2020.

It looked as if All Out 2021 would be the site of the culmination of this storyline, with Hangman Page facing Kenny Omega for the AEW World Championship. But Page decided to take some time off to be at home for the birth of his first child, so Christian Cage got a shot at Omega instead. Page's absence let the show put more of a spotlight on the debuts of Bryan Danielson and Adam Cole.

The most anticipated match for AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam will be Danielson making his in-ring debut for the company against Omega, the reigning world champion. This contest is years in the making, as both men are considered two of the best wrestlers in the world today. This first encounter isn't about the title, but it is about proving who is the better wrestler of the two.

Depending on the result of this match, it could hint at what's next for the AEW World Championship. The two men could clash in a rematch for the title down the line, or it may be the right time for a huge return. The Elite has gotten involved in many of Omega's big-time bouts, and Bryan will need backup when that happens on this occasion.

This historic setting seems quite appropriate for Hangman Page to return in front of the largest crowd in AEW history. Seeing over 20,000 fans cheer for the return of one of the company's most popular fan-favorites would a sight to behold. That's why Hangman Page's return could be the biggest surprise at AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam.
