Ethan Page is going to the finals of the AEW World Title Eliminator Tournament.
On the November 9 episode of AEW Dynamite, Page defeated Eddie Kingston to advance to the semifinals. Bandido punched his ticket by beating RUSH on the November 11 episode of AEW Rampage. Page faced Bandido in a semifinal match on the November 16 episode of AEW Dynamite, and Stokely Hathaway’s interference tipped the scales in his client’s favor.
Here’s how the match broke down, courtesy of our play-by-play coverage:
Page and Bandido go back and forth early on. A distraction from Hathaway helps Page gain the upper hand, as he overpowers Bandido. He grounds the former ROH World Champion, but Bandido rallies with a dive to the outside. He gets a two count with a corkscrew dive. Page evades the 21-Plex and floors Bandido with a cutter. Bandido counters the avalanche Ego’s Edge into a hurricanrana. He presses Page and hits a Frog Splash for a two count. Page throws Bandido off the top rope and hits a shoulder block. Page hits the Ego’s Edge for the win.
