Hangman Adam Page is one of the top stars in All Elite Wrestling as he is one half of the AEW Tag Team Champions.
It seems during his initial few years as a wrestler, he had brief contact with WWE. On the AEW Unrestricted podcast, Adam Page went into detail regarding him being scouted by WWE. He revealed that he was scouted by John Laurinaitis and WWE when he was 17.
I never went to any of the tryout camps. It might have been like my first year of college maybe or maybe even the summer before I went to college, I guess I was 17, there was a guy somewhere in Western North Carolina who apparently owned the trademark or copyright to NXT before they started NXT. This is the story that I understand.
So in a trade for that copyright or trademark or whatever it is, they sent it might have been Johnny Ace I think – down to his place to have him look at people for the day, and he talked. And he did genuinely watch some of these matches. So that was my like first contact with them, and then I got put into their big database of local guys, a lot of like the little local extra stuff, but I never really had a proper tryout I guess.
It is not unlikely we will be seeing Adam Page in a WWE ring anytime soon as he has found success in AEW. Perhaps somewhere down the line, we will see him in WWE.
