The Hurt Syndicate might soon get challenged by a new team in AEW. Hangman Page and Swerve Strickland could set their differences aside and form an alliance to go after the World Tag Team Championships.
This week on Dynamite, hardcore rivals Page and Strickland had a confrontation backstage. They recalled all the awful things they had done to each other. In a shocking turn of events, The New Flavor admitted he deserved everything Page had done to him and showed a sign of remorse.
This might be a hint that the two bitter rivals could bury the hatchet to reconcile. It would make them a dominant force in the tag team division. Hence, they can also challenge The Hurt Syndicate for the World Tag Team Championship shortly.
According to recent reports, Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin were supposed to defend their titles against Murder Machine's Brian Cage and Lance Archer at Dysnaty on Sunday, April 6. But Brian suffered a knee injury during a match on the independent circuit. Therefore, they were replaced by The Learning Tree's Big Bill and Bryan Keith.
Should The Hurt Syndicate successfully defend their AEW World Tag Team Titles at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Sunday, April 6, a match against the dream team of Page and Strickland is a strong possibility.
