Two years after one of AEW’s most violent matches ever, Hangman Page has found a new use for one of its most infamous weapons. Turns out, the cinder block from his brutal war with Swerve Strickland wasn’t thrown away—it was auctioned off.
During a Pro Wrestling Tees auction on September 26, Page confirmed that the cinder block up for bidding was the exact one used during his unforgettable Lights Out Steel Cage Match against Swerve at AEW All Out 2024. At first, he admitted he assumed it was just a replacement prop before remembering where the match took place.
“When I saw you were selling this, I thought they probably just went and bought a cinder block. But then I remembered it was Chicago, and I remembered, yeah, they probably did get the cinder block.”
Once he realized it was the real thing, Page reflected on just how much punishment both men took because of it. As the bidding climbed, Page kept an eye on the numbers before announcing the winning bid.
“But yeah, this is the cinder block. I was dropped on my head on this, nearly broke Swerve’s back on this cinder block. It’s at $620… $640… $660! Jonathan Thunderous Phallus, congratulations!”
The cinder block became one of the defining images of that Lights Out match, which pushed both Page and Strickland to their absolute limits in one of the bloodiest and most controversial bouts in AEW history. Now, instead of sitting in storage somewhere, it’s headed home with a fan who owns a genuine piece of one of wrestling’s most unforgettable rivalries.
