Folks, it finally happened. After five long years, Maxwell Jacob Friedman and “Hangman” Adam Page met in singles competition once again, and let’s just say—this one wasn’t a friendly reunion. It was a bloody, bruising brawl that had more drama than a reality TV finale.
By the time the dust settled in Los Angeles, Page stood victorious, MJF was emotionally shattered, and somewhere, Christopher Daniels probably nodded in approval while icing his ribs.
Violence? Oh, There Was Plenty.
The match wasted zero time getting ugly. The moment the bell rang, Page went full cowboy and started swinging. But MJF, ever the opportunist, turned the tide faster than a Twitter controversy, sending Page crashing across the ring.
From there, the violence escalated:
✅ MJF busted open like a can of expired soda.
✅ Page’s back turned into a road map of bruises after an intimate meeting with the steel steps.
✅ A Tombstone Piledriver onto a steel chair that had the Los Angeles crowd questioning their life choices.
The fans lived and died on every near fall, but the moment Page barely made it back into the ring at a nine-count, the match took a turn for the dramatic.
MJF’s Existential Crisis & A Fallen Angel Tribute
In an Oscar-worthy performance, MJF—face twisted in existential dread—grabbed Page’s face and screamed:
“Why you, and not me? What’s so special about you?”
Folks, when a man pauses mid-match to question his entire existence, you know he’s down bad. And in response? Hangman Page hit him with an emotional AND physical gut punch.
- MJF went for the Heatseeker—his signature move.
- Page said “Nah” and countered into a Deadeye.
- Then, in a moment of poetic vengeance, Page hit Angel’s Wings—Christopher Daniels’ finisher—avenging his fallen mentor.
- To finish it all off, Page unleashed the Buckshot Lariat and pinned MJF for the 1-2-3.
Final Thoughts: MJF Loses the Match… and Maybe His Sanity?
This wasn’t just a match. This was a man losing his grip on reality in real time. MJF didn’t just lose—he got beat, broken, and existentially roasted in front of thousands. Meanwhile, Page walked away with a victory, a mentor avenged, and a bruised back the size of Texas.
What’s next for MJF? Therapy? A solo trip to find himself? Maybe both? One thing’s for sure—“The Salt of the Earth” just got humbled.
