Ethan Page Thanks Past Challengers as NXT North American Champion

Page took to X to thank the 13 people he had successfully defended his title against. Eight of those matches he had were on television, while the other five were WWE NXT Live events. He wrote:

Happy Thanksgiving

The Greatest North American Alive …

Is thankful for all his past Challengers:

Ricky Saints

Sean Legacy

Rey Fenix

Laredo Kid

Jevon Evans

Santino

Dragon Lee

Tyler Breeze

Tavion Heights

Mustafa Ali

Myles Bourne

Trey Miguel

Johnny Gargano

Thank you

His last title defense was this past Saturday, October 11, at the WWE NXT Live show in Cleveland, Ohio. Page retained his title against Gargano. His last televised defense was on Tuesday, October 7, during the NXT vs. TNA Showdown special episode. He had defended it against former WWE Superstar and current TNA star Mustafa Ali. Page himself is a former TNA star. He was with the promotion roughly between 2017 and 2021.

Ethan Page’s WWE Career So Far

Page has been with WWE since making his surprise NXT debut on the May 28, 2024, episode. There, he attacked the then-current NXT Champion Trick Williams as well as Meta-Four’s Noam Dar and Oro Mensah. His first official NXT match was at the Battleground 2024 PLE, where he faced Williams for the NXT Title. He wouldn’t win it then, but a month later at the Heatwave PLE, he defeated not only the then-champion but also Shawn Spears and Je’Von Evans.

The former AEW wrestler would hold onto the NXT Championship until the October 1, 2024, episode of NXT. He would lose it to Williams. At the moment, the NXT champion is another former AEW star, Ricky Saints. Speaking of Saints, it was he who Page defeated to become the current NXT North American Champion. He’s been the champion since May 27, 2025.

So Page is a nice guy, thanking his challengers or enemies. The cocky champion does have some humility. It will be interesting to see where Page goes next in his career with the company. Soon enough, he will be on the main roster and hopefully won’t get lost in the crowd.
