The climax of the match saw Page, after a grueling exchange, manage to ensnare Moxley with a chain, choking him against the ropes until the former champion was forced to tap out, unable to continue. The sight of Page finally overcoming his fierce adversary and holding the AEW World Championship aloft for the second time ignited a massive pop from the Texas faithful, who had been heavily invested in his journey back to the main event.
Page's path to this championship opportunity was paved by his victory in the 2025 Owen Hart Cup, which earned him the shot against Moxley. Their feud had been simmering for weeks, intensifying with each confrontation, and the Texas Death Match stipulation served as the perfect, brutal culmination.
This championship win holds significant weight for Page, who previously held the AEW World Championship in a beloved reign that concluded in May 2022. His journey since then has been one of self-doubt, redemption, and a renewed pursuit of greatness. To defeat a dominant and resilient champion like Jon Moxley, particularly in his signature match type, adds another significant chapter to Page's already storied career.
As the new AEW World Champion, "Hangman" Adam Page steps into a fresh era for AEW. The landscape of the company is constantly evolving, and with the prestigious title firmly in his grasp, the eyes of the wrestling world will now be on him to see how he defines his second reign. The questions now turn to who will step up to challenge the cowboy for his newly reclaimed gold, with MJF, the winner of the Men's Casino Gauntlet, already making his intentions clear in the post-show press conference.
