In an interview with Vice, Hangman Page once again stated that he will win the AEW World Championship on his own in his match at All In: Texas. Page will face Jon Moxley in a Texas Death Match. Here are highlights:

On if he’d accept help from Swerve Strickland: “I made a promise to win the World Championship, and I made a promise not to need or accept help from him [Swerve Strickland] because I can’t — I couldn’t do that.”

On if he and Swerve are wrestling soulmates:  ”No, no, no. I don’t, I don’t believe in that [fans calling them wrestling soulmates]. I don’t. I mean, you said it. He is someone who, to prove a point, broke into my home. He’s someone who threatened my family’s safety, who had nothing to do with any of it. You’re right, I found his childhood home. I burned it to ash, and I nearly killed him. I mean, I thought about him, I did. Once I had done that, I kind of realized that the catharsis that I thought it would give me didn’t come. And I thought it would hit instantly; I would feel relief. I’d feel like it was done, and it just didn’t come at all. I kind of realized that I had spent two years chasing the wrong thing, I guess. He said quite a while ago that he had put it behind him, and I kind of had to make that decision as well to put it behind me to focus on something worthwhile, because the past two years had not been worthwhile.”
