Adam Page Claims He’s Heard Of Offers Doubling Since The Creation Of AEW

In an interview with Fightful, Adam Page said that he’s heard AEW’s creation has helped other wrestlers in the business, as offers for certain wrestlers have doubled since its launch. Here are highlights:

On when he knew he’d be leaving ROH for AEW: “I don’t know! January 2nd, maybe. Even as we were building up to All In, we all kind of knew we were onto something and had something we had to expand upon. We had to expand upon it now. All In couldn’t just be a once a year thing for our BTE fans. We thought it was time to step out on our own. As a group, we felt like we were as a group on the path to something to expand upon. I’m not an executive, I’m not an employee, and that’s fine. There’s a lot of conversations and meetings that I’m not really a part of. We’re all at different points of our careers. I’m 27, and just picked up steam in the past couple of years as a talent and a wrestler. That’s where I want to focus my energy and time.”

On getting other offers: “It’d be a lie if I said I didn’t consider anything. Any type of offer put on the table is something I took a lot of time and thought about it. No matter what you do, there’s some pros and cons and risks involved. There’s some risks involved in what we’re doing. We don’t own a wrestling ring yet. I think the opportunity to make All Elite Wrestling happen, make it a success, was the best option for me. I hope that my okaying this along with a few other people can help change what wrestling is for millions of fans and wrestlers. I know of a lot of guys whose offers doubled because there’s somebody else playing ball now. Knowing that I contributed to that in some way was probably the biggest selling point me.”
