Controversial AEW Full Gear Spot Approved In Advance

At AEW Full Gear the very personal feud between Hangman Adam Page and Swerve Strickland went to the extreme in a Texas Death Match.

Page and Strickland went to war at Full Gear in a bloody and brutal bout that saw barbed wire, broken glass, and a staple gun all used to good effect. The most discussed moment from the match saw Page crawl under a busted-open Swerve Strickland to drink the blood that was dripping from his head. And it’s safe to say the moment was one of the most polarising, not just of the night but in AEW history.
