Ethan Page is quickly becoming a daily fixture on “WWE Raw,” but his dream of being a part of the corporate almost didn’t occur.<\/p>\n

Page has been wrestling for nearly twenty years, featuring in promotions like EVOLVE, ROH, and TNA before joining AEW. Nevertheless, before signing with AEW, the Canadian star was desirous to join WWE, only to be told outright by the promotion that it will not hire him.<\/p>\n

“The time I used to be leaving TNA and I made a decision not to remain, in that window, I had gotten an email while in Nashville recording the show for Impact. And the e-mail was from WWE telling me that they are never going to rent me,” he recalled on “Insight<\/a>.” “So, I read the e-mail and I’m like, ‘Oh man, what am I going to do?’ I had just told Impact that I’m not staying. AEW was a possible option, but nothing was concrete. After which I get this email [from WWE] being like, ‘Yeah, yeah, we’re not hiring you. Just stop.’ Pretty very like, ‘That is the tip of the road. It isn’t going to occur. Just type of let it go.'”<\/p>\n

Page, while initially distraught upon learning that he won’t be signed by WWE, was motivated to prove them mistaken. He says that watching the vlog of him learning he won’t ever be a WWE wrestler is hard, but joked that he’s willing to sell the clip to WWE for any documentary they make.<\/p>\n

“So, I filmed myself right after reading the e-mail after which had a conversation with myself, documenting it, just about being like, ‘Are you going to be okay with this, or are you going to shove it up their a*s?'” he said. “It was awful. To look at it back is pretty rough, but I got it. So, I am unable to wait to sell it to WWE for whatever documentary they make.”<\/p>\n

The previous NXT Champion eventually debuted in WWE with “NXT” in 2024, just just a few weeks after leaving AEW.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
