Among the group of men who have held the AEW World Championship, Tony Khan has named his choice as the greatest among them so far.
Up to this point in AEW's relatively short history, four stars have held the title. Each one of them has had to fight tooth and nail to earn their belt. Hangman Adam Page currently holds the gold; he defeated Kenny Omega at the culmination of a long feud at the Full Gear pay-per-view in 2021.
Speaking on a recent episode of Barstool Rasslin', Tony Khan recently shared his opinion on why he believes Page is the the best world champion the company has had.
“I believe the top prize in all of pro wrestling, against the greatest champion we’ve had, Hangman Page, the guy who knocked off Kenny Omega, he’s come in and he’s had, in my opinion, the best championship reign of anybody.” (H/T: WrestlePurists)

Hangman Adam Page has held the world title for more than 160 days as of this writing. Fans will have to stay tuned to see whether someone else can win the gold from him in the near future.
Hangman Page will be facing CM Punk at AEW Double or Nothing
At Double or Nothing, CM Punk will challenge the reigning World Champion for the gold.
The feud between Punk and Hangman has been heating up recently. On the latest episode of Dynamite, The Second City Saint took down Dark Order member John Silver. To send a message to the champion, Punk used Hangman's finisher, the Buckshot Lariat, to land the final blow and win the match.
As of now, the clash between the two stars has seemingly escalated into a full-blown rivalry. Time will tell if Punk will prevail over Hangman, or if the reigning champion will be able to retain his title.
