Details on Ethan Page in NXT
Added 2024-05-29 02:36:15 +0000 UTCEthan Page is in NXT
WWE sources have claimed to Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp and Corey Brennan that Ethan Page has signed with WWE. Ethan Page was not seen backstage throughout the day, and was not present for the rehearsals.
While we're not sure if Page got his release or his AEW contract had expired, he'd told some in the industry that he was looking to be a free agent by the late spring. When word of his departure happened, we'd heard that he was hoping that it would go under the radar until "he appeared somewhere else," though we aren't sure if that meant NXT specifically.
We're told that Page's deal was finalized over the last week and had a secretive WWE Performance Center visit over the last week.
Page is the promoter for Alpha-1, though it's unsure what the future holds for that promotion.
Sources we spoke to were immediately pleased with his debut, and main roster sources reached out to communicate their excitement about him joining.

WWE does have a history of letting guys still work out their indie dates after they’ve been signed, like Bryan in 2010 and Eddie working ROH in 2002 as IC Champ.

2024-05-29 18:37:48 +0000 UTCWas a fan of his in AEW. Hope he gets a chance in NXT.

2024-05-29 13:40:57 +0000 UTCI don’t know if it’s bloated because with NXT they do there evaluation on talent & if they haven’t improved or progressed within six months there cut. I think you need a couple of veterans in NXT now especially with the C network move & some of the big names that moved up in the draft.

2024-05-29 12:56:39 +0000 UTCI think it will still happen WWE under Trips have a partnership with TNA they are letting Giula work for Rosey promotion while she’s under contract with them. I think he will be aloud finish any Indy dates he has left

2024-05-29 12:54:19 +0000 UTCIt’s one of those things where unfortunately Ethan Page he ended up in the same boat that Andrade & Malakai Black. For as great as the AEW roster is with how bloated it is & all the talent hoarding TK done over the year certain people are going to get lost in the shuffle. There was a lot of hype when him Andrade & Black signed with the company in 2021 but then AEW signed Punk Cole & Bryan & while it’s unfortunate I get why they were forgotten about. Hope he does well in WWE

2024-05-29 10:58:38 +0000 UTCHonestly, best move for him. Thought he was made for WWE when he left Impact. So damn happy for him and cool to see Grace there too

2024-05-29 06:26:50 +0000 UTCI think did say on his alpha 1 vlog .That even if he not running the promotion that it would still carrying on I though something is up
young Jay
2024-05-29 06:26:28 +0000 UTCGreat surprise He is above NXT but there’s a lot going on, on the main roster atm I think he’d struggle to fit in and get lost in the shuffle quickly Plus NXT lost a good few heavy hitters in Bron, Melo, Dijak, Corbin, & Ilja recently so he’s definitely provided a big boost Good move for him & the brand
Stephen Bradley
2024-05-29 06:09:54 +0000 UTCI'm stunned, I'm so happy for Ethan though! Hope he has a great run! I wonder what this means for his YouTube with Alpha-1 and his Toy Hunts though.

2024-05-29 04:19:04 +0000 UTCI think Ethan is a perfect fit for NXT. Huge pickup for WWE

2024-05-29 03:49:34 +0000 UTCHope he does well there. Him being stuck with Dan Lambert got him on screen but it definitely stunted anything he could have done and he never got a chance to shake off those vibes. Same with Scorpio Sky.
Dragmire
2024-05-29 03:41:21 +0000 UTCNever understood why AEW didn't use him.
Doogie
2024-05-29 03:18:45 +0000 UTCGood for him! Glad he gets to make this move. It’s long been passed due that he gets a good run to see what he can do.
Tony Casanova
2024-05-29 03:10:22 +0000 UTCWhen he started posting on YouTube again, something seemed off. He I think explained he wasn't with the company anymore and my first thought was, he would cook in NXT but knew that he could of easily went back to TNA and either went back in a Tag Team with Alexander or went for the top titles. Happy for him and interested to see what they for for him...
Matthew Brownlee
2024-05-29 03:09:31 +0000 UTCDidn't you guys report him not being with AEW anymore? I know he's been open about it.

2024-05-29 02:46:35 +0000 UTCThis might be a hot take, but this was the biggest signing for WWE
Kyle Pribila
2024-05-29 02:45:41 +0000 UTCPossible hot take, Page is a major signing dude has all the tools and if given the ball could be a massive star for WWE.
Lux
2024-05-29 02:44:52 +0000 UTCWith the sheer amount of signings there have been to both NXT and the main roster, as well as the number of NXT people who still need to move up, I do wonder if WWE Is approaching a bloated roster again
Flameducky
2024-05-29 02:44:08 +0000 UTCKind of ironic that I just saw a flyer today for prestige wrestling announcing Shelton benjamin vs Ethan page,I don't think that match is happening anymore

2024-05-29 02:41:19 +0000 UTC1 week?! That’s insane!
Jordan Lassiter
2024-05-29 02:41:05 +0000 UTCReally happy for Ethan Page. I think he will do really well in WWE.
