AEW fans rejoiced over Hangman Adam Page's win

People invested in the Cowboy's story and character over the last two years got a much-deserved payoff. Fans were over the moon with the result and made their feelings quite clear on Twitter.

Remember when folks thought AEW would throw away their long term Kenny Omega-Hangman Page story in order to put the belt on CM Punk/Danielson?

I wouldโ€™ve thought by now AEW has built up the goodwill where you can trust them. Theyโ€™ve clearly proved that you SHOULD.

November 13th will now officially be known as Hangman Day.

One of the most satisfying wrestling payoffs in recent memory. What a fucking moment.

Of course, certain fans called back to All Out when many people were skeptical of Adam Page ever winning the big title. The skepticism stemmed from big names like Bryan Danielson, Adam Cole, and CM Punk joining Tony Khan's company.

The doubts proved to be unfounded, as one fan pointed out emphatically.

Over the summer, we saw those dumb takes that Hangman was forgotten, being cast aside for all the shiny new toys, was gonna leave AEW at first chance (lol)....

Hes finally the man. It all worked out.
The story of AEW so far is the story of the rise of Hangman Page. From the moment he lost the first title match against Jericho theyโ€™ve been building to this moment - the Hangman Page redemption arc.

Their first true self-made superstar. The true proof of concept for AEW.

The lucky fans in attendance posted pictures of the historic title win.

You deserve it adam page congrats @theAdamPage #AEWFullGear https://t.co/Y3au4rYwWD
And the newwwww AEW World Champion @theAdamPage #cowboyshit https://t.co/fQMoJM9d5e

Hangman Adam Page will go down in history as the first homegrown AEW star to lift the world title, with Chris Jericho, Jon Moxley, and Kenny Omega as the previous titleholders.

The story had been told since the very first AEW show and is one of the longest-running stories in modern professional wrestling history. The payoff was worth the wait, and fans can now look forward to an excellent title reign from one of the most popular stars in AEW.
