AEW Dynamite Report from 21st May 2025

‘Hangman’ Adam Page and Will Ospreay Segment

Ospreay:

He politely asks the security to leave. He apologizes to Hangman for elbowing him in the face, he gets some beers and Hangman rejects a cheers. He wants this match to main event, he talks about what winning on Sunday means and how much he wants it.

Hangman:

He understands how Ospreay feels as he has lived it but for him it’s personal, he doesn’t want the opportunity, he needs it. He talks about the past 2 years being full of hate. He needs to know there’s a light at the end of the 2 year tunnel of hell and that it’s not too late.

Ospreay:

He asks what Hangman will do about. He’s not done things the wrong way and he did it by earning everyone’s respect. Hangman has beaten Moxley and that’s the Hangman he wants on Sunday so he knows he can beat Moxley at All In. He mentions how people have lost respect for Hangman. Ospreay has beaten the best that’s been put in front of him but if Hangman wins he’s got his back against The Deathriders and hopes Hangman does the same if he wins.
