Ethan Page entered WWE’s NXT brand after departing from AEW, and he didn’t waste much time before he was NXT Champion. All good things had to end for All Ego, and he is trying to cause a stir however he can now.
The December 17 episode went down at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium, and they had a couple title matches. Ethan Page wasn’t booked for a match, but he still had a big impact to make on the show.
Ethan Page has been a bit frustrated as of late. He has not regained the NXT Title after his reign as champion, and he failed to win the Iron Survivor Challenge. While many fans may think that All Ego is main roster ready, he may not be finished telling his story in NXT.
Page interrupted the commentary after the NXT Tag Team Title match. He seemed disheartened to be there as he spoke about his journey. All Ego seemed depressed as he spoke about the promise that he made to his daughter. He made history, becoming NXT Champion in such rapid fashion, and he started getting more angry as he spoke about how he kept that promise he made to his daughter.
Ethan Page eventually said that he has lost his smile, which was Shawn Michaels’ classic line from decades ago. Then Je’Von Evans made his way to the ring to speak to Page. Evans said he saw the real Ethan Page at Heatwave after he won the title, because he told his wife that he loved her. Evans said that the joy Page saw in his family, that showed who he really is.
After Je’Von Evasn told Etha Page that they want to see the real him, and the fans cheered for him a big, All Ego said that he should be more worried about taking Je’Von Evans’ smile. Then he clocked him with a microphone.
Ethan Page got a steel chair next, and he put Evans’ heat in it before stomping down. He yelled, “This is the real me!” as NXT officials and the medical staff ran down to check on Evans.
