#2. Adam Cole vs. Hangman Page

As previously mentioned, Adam Cole has a lot of history with several members of the AEW roster. His time in NJPW led to his introduction into the Bullet Club stable. Cole has long been friends with The Young Bucks, with the three men being apart of the Mount Rushmore faction at PWG. The group was a natural progression to the Bullet Club.

The three men also brought Hangman Page into the group. The former AEW World Tag Team Champion was very young and hadn't accomplished much yet in wrestling. His introduction into the Bullet Club brought more success to his career than ever before. He became a star during his recurring role on the Being The Elite series.

Before Adam Cole's arrival to WWE, The Bullet Club and The Young Bucks made an emphatic split from Adam Cole with Matt and Nick Jackson delivering a superkick to their former friend. One of Cole's final opponents before leaving for WWE NXT was against Hangman Page. However, Page and Cole are very different now compared to then.

Adam Cole has gone on to become the longest reigning NXT Champion in the history of the brand, while Hangman Page is arguably the most popular star in all of AEW. Both have seen their careers soar to new heights and have achieved more in their time apart. The two Adams would now make for perfect opponents inside the squared circle.

With Adam Cole looking to get revenge on The Elite for the way that he was treated before leaving for WWE, he could aim his vengeance towards Hangman Page. Whereas the Young Bucks made their decision, Page didn't have to stand with them and could have sided with Cole, especially considering where his relationship with The Elite led to.

The cocky Adam Cole could point out all the flaws in the millennial anxious cowboy. Hangman Page has experienced plenty of setbacks in his time at AEW, most recently losing his Number One Contendership for the AEW World Championship. Cole could present yet another hurdle for Page to overcome in his journey to the top prize.
