Adam Page Wins Casino Battle Royal at Double or Nothing 2019
Adam “Hangman” Page has won the Casino Battle Royal at AEW Double or Nothing’s ‘Buy In’ pre-show.
Adam Page was supposed to face PAC at Double or Nothing but their match got canceled due to creative differences between AEW and PAC. They instead had a match at Wrestlegate Pro last week. At the time, it was announced that Page will get a different opponent for the show. But earlier this week, AEW announced on the episode of Being the Elite that Page has suffered a knee injury and is not allowed for Double or Nothing.
However, it was always anticipated that Page will enter at no 21 in the Casino Battle Royal as the winner of the match would enter into the AEW World Title Match. And the same thing happened as he entered last in the Battle Royal. After this win, Page will face the winner of the match between Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho for the AEW World Championship.

Nakazawa brings out the baby oil and uses it to his advantage to slide out of a few moves. Diamond Group is drawn: Brian Pillman Jr., Isiah Kassidy, Jimmy Havoc, Joey Janela, and Shawn Spears. Shawn Spears heads out and gets a “10!” chant from the crowd. He goes right after MJF but gets poked in the eye and MJF mocks the 10 pose.
