The 31-year-old has been one of the Jacksonville-based promotion's most beloved stars in recent years. With sharp in-ring acumen and mic skills, The Cowboy of AEW has never felt out of place against opponents of significantly high stature.

Fans have often wondered how Hangman Page would fare in the Stamford-based promotion. Wrestling veteran Konnan recently aired his two cents on the matter.
On the Keepin' It 100 podcast, the WCW veteran opined that the AEW star is the complete package.
"Yeah, the butterfly jeans wasn't happening and the other he was wearing, I don't know, some other stuff that I was like 'What's going? Flowers or something?'. I don't know no cowboys that dress like that but the guy is over, he does wrestle good, he is very athletic and he can cut a promo. I think they (WWE) could do something with him. I'm not saying he's a top guy but I think they could do something with him," said Konnan.

"I'm keeping an eye out. He chopped me in the mouth one time, and I'm just like, 'OK, did you do that on purpose?' You chip my tooth, and I'm like, 'All right, should I give him a receipt?" said Punk.
