Former AEW star Ethan Page first arrived in WWE NXT at the top of May 2024. Over the following two years, he captured each the WWE NXT and North American Championships, and along the way in which, he was in a position to debut a custom version of the NA title based on his Canadian heritage. Speaking on “Insight with Chris Van Vliet,” Page shared his thoughts on that accolade.
“[The idea] had nothing to do with me. It was presented to me,” Page said. “It was a unbelievable idea, and there was a legitimate disclose to me, before the event.”
Page recalled the day he first saw the custom title as probably the greatest of his profession. It happened in Houston, Texas, and after he was shown the championship for the primary time, he was in a position to reveal it to the general public with a lengthy in-ring promo segment. He also noted that the vehement patriotism of the Houston crowd made things even higher.
“After the experience, it really clicked in. Like, wait a second, I actually have a custom championship within the WWE specifically for me,” Page continued. “I do not think anyone’s ever going to get that belt again. It’s literally hanging in my house. Don’t take it, WWE, please. I actually have no clue the way it got there. After I lost the championship, I left it on the Performance Center, but someway, it’s hanging in my house.”
Speaking about his North American title reign, which lasted from May 2025 into February of this yr, Page shared his belief that he elevated the championship while holding it. Not long after his title loss, Page departed NXT and joined the foremost roster.
