Ethan Page Mocks CM Punk’s AEW Backstage Reputation After 10/1 WWE NXT

The October 1st edition of WWE NXT delivered an explosive main event as Ethan Page defended his NXT Championship against Trick Williams, with CM Punk serving as the special guest referee. The match took a dramatic turn when Page, seemingly in control, hit Williams with a GTS, only for it to result in a two-count. Frustrated by the outcome, Page’s annoyance escalated when CM Punk provocatively flashed two fingers in his face, further antagonizing the champion.

As tensions rose, Punk’s involvement in the match became more apparent, eventually leading to Trick Williams capturing the NXT Championship. To add insult to injury, after the match, CM Punk hit Ethan Page with his signature GTS finisher, closing out the show in dramatic fashion.

Following the event, Ethan Page took to Twitter to share a heartfelt image of his daughter holding the NXT Championship, accompanied by a biting message aimed at CM Punk. Page referenced Punk’s controversial history, particularly the infamous AEW All Out 2022 press conference, where Punk publicly criticized several key figures, including The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, and Hangman Page, leading to a backstage brawl. In his tweet, Ethan Page stated, “He’s been known to ruin locker rooms. Didn’t know he’d ruin my life too,” directly calling out Punk for his role in his title loss.

With emotions running high, the tension between Page and Punk seems far from over, and fans are eagerly speculating about a potential feud between the two. It’s clear WWE has something significant in store for both competitors, as this rivalry has only just begun.
