Hangman Adam Page is facing backlash after a selfie with controversial wrestler Marty Scurll went viral on social media late Wednesday night.
The photo, posted by Scurll on January 21, 2026, was captioned “Handsome Devils reunited 🤠” and immediately sparked backlash among wrestling fans due to Scurll’s connection to unresolved allegations involving a 16-year-old during the #SpeakingOut movement in 2020.
While Page has long been seen as one of AEW’s most principled stars, fans were quick to question his judgment and integrity for publicly reconnecting with his former Bullet Club ally. One fan took to Twitter and made it clear they will never consider Page a good person again.
“Honestly that’s on me for thinking a man could be a good person. Will not be making that mistake again.”
Another fan drew a direct comparison to Hangman’s feud with CM Punk, referencing Punk’s 2022 criticism of Page’s morals and calling them prophetic: “As always, Punk was right.”
The situation escalated quickly, with fans calling Page out for hypocrisy and even calling on AEW President Tony Khan to take action and release him the same way they did to Trey Miguel.
“Here is Hangman Adam Page hanging out with a man that was accused of sex crimes. Tony Khan will release Adam like he did Trey Miguel, right? Right sickos?”
The backlash wasn’t limited to moral outrage—some fans felt personally let down by Page, who has maintained a clean reputation throughout his AEW career.
“That Hangman Adam Page photo just completely fed up my mood,” one user wrote. “I know we shouldn’t put wrestlers on pedestals, but what the actual f*** are you doing hanging out with Marty Scurll?”
Another put it even more bluntly, “Hangman Adam Page openly hangs out with a pedophile. F****ing YIKES.”
As of this writing, Hangman Page has not commented publicly, and AEW has made no official statement on the matter.
This incident is already snowballing into one of AEW’s most uncomfortable controversies of the new year. Whether the photo reflects poor timing, tone-deafness, or something deeper, fans are demanding accountability—and Hangman Adam Page may be facing the harshest reaction of his career so far.
