Hangman Page was called out by a top veteran after he got into another backstage incident a few days ago after this week's edition of AEW Dynamite. The legend in question is Jay Lethal.

Upon his return, Page has acted with a more deranged, self-centered demeanor. His goal was just to get revenge on Swerve Strickland, and get rid of anyone in his way. One man who just happened to cross paths with him was Jeff Jarrett.

Hangman Page was moments away from winning the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, but he resorted to using dirty tactics on Bryan Danielson to secure his win. Jarrett came out to stop this as he wanted to protect the integrity of the tournament. In the end, Bryan scored the win.

After feeling like Double J was the reason he wasn't going to All In to face Swerve, Page lashed out at the veteran, attacking him while he was in a backstage interview a few days ago on Dynamite.

Tonight on Rampage, Jay Lethal addressed Hangman's actions and wanted retribution for his friend. He talked about how he wanted to put an end to Page's antics of late. He then challenged him to a match next week on Dynamite.

It remains to be seen how the potential rivalry between Lethal and Hangman pans out.
