Hangman Page and Kenny Omega will have contract signing on tonight’s AEW Dynamite
On the upcoming episode of AEW Dynamite, Hangman Page and Kenny Omega will make their impending world title clash official for AEW Full Gear. With the history of recent contract signings, it is unlikely that this one will go smoothly.
Since this will be the go-home edition of Dynamite, Omega and Page might exchange blows to add hype before their pay-per-view match. Whether or not The Elite or any other faction gets involved between them remains to be seen.
