There won't be a post-Championship break for Hangman Page.
Last Sunday at AEW Double or Nothing, Hangman Page lost the AEW Championship to CM Punk, ending his first reign with the belt after 197 days. He was not present at the June 1 episode of Dynamite in Los Angeles, but won't be missing from action for much longer.
During the main event of tonight's broadcast, it was announced that Hangman will be back in the ring next week for a match against NJPW's David Finlay. With AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door later this month, it's likely we see more stars from the Japanese promotion showing up on AEW programming.
This evening, Hiroshi Tanahashi answered CM Punk's challenge for the June 26 event while Hikuleo appeared to team with the Young Bucks and reDRagon.
The updated card for next week's show can be seen below.
