So letting that all get spoiled on another show, made no sense form their perspective.

Also AEW wants "wins and losses to matter," hence why they didn't want to do a DQ/screwy-finish (Pac's matches in places like Rev-Pro and OTT have tended to end in DQ's and/or time limit draws). AEW also didn't want to do the draw because they don't think that it would be received well by the fans.
this one seems more likely. even if page loses, a good enough match with pac would've elevated his stock and given him more clout. a lot of guys in the BOSJ this year have been stepping up their game, even if they weren't always winning (sho, the octopus, rocky to name a few)
