“Hangman” Adam Page had to be taken out of the wrestling ring on a stretcher during AEW Dynamite at the Heritage Bank Center in Cincinnati, Ohio on Tuesday night.
Page was facing Jon Moxley for the AEW Heavyweight title. Moxley nailed Page with a lariat, and the 31-year-old appeared to land with his head hitting the mat.
