Following his loss in a brutal Texas Deathmatch at last weekend's AEW Revolution, 'Hangman' Adam Page has reportedly taken time off from all future television appearances and announced he will no longer challenge for the world title. The stipulation was triggered when MJF defeated him on March 15 to retain the championship after it had previously been agreed that a loss would end any further attempts by Page at capturing AEW's top belt, effectively ending his immediate path back into contention despite being confident in Sunday night main event match-up against Muta Scale.
