A major AEW star was unable to close the deal when it came to taking a win at WrestleDream this year, owing to his knees apparently giving out. His frustration was palpable, and he had a bad reaction to fans afterward.
The star, Hangman Adam Page, is considered one of the best in-ring fighters in Tony Khan's company. He was set to face Jay White at WrestleDream pay-per-view in a vicious singles match. As is generally the case with Hangman's matches, he went all out in his assault on Jay. Despite The Switchblade's efforts, Adam Page seemed to be on top of the fight for the majority of the bout.
Near the end, however, Jay reversed a Buckshot Lariat to take the win. This was possible in large part because Hangman's knees buckled on the apron as he tried to execute his finisher, giving Jay White a chance to get back on his feet.
Immediately after, Hangman was seen lashing out at fans in anger, owing to an important loss. It remains to be seen what he plans to do next in AEW and whether he will seek revenge on Jay White in the coming weeks.
