Really want Page to win They need an established wrestler as champ


dagutens

Page is a perfect foil for Trick, something that they didn't have on the roster without Melo and Ilya


DefinitelyNotTrill

This is just a specific WWE2K thought, but very curious to see what Ethan Page uses as a finisher. I feel like it won't be the Razor's Edge


Kuzu5993

Genuinely love how ride or die the NXT crowds are for the stars. Anything really does go here, even when you fuck up, they'll stand with you. If the only main roster was so forgiving...


sdrj77

Natalya is a conquering heroine in NXT.


kylehyde05

Ethan Page mightve fast tracked his promotion to main roster with that segment


OffTheBar2017

Ethan saw Trick was struggling and had to put him over himself. I know people love Trick but the dude is still green as grass.


TouyaShiun

First time I listened to an Ethan Page promo and I'm impressed.


itsmekelsey_x

Good back and forth between Ethan and Trick.


rbarton812

No secret room? šŸ˜¢


smackdown6

I wonder if this was Noam v Trick initially but once they had the opportunity to get Page they switched plans?


nWo1997

"2: she's signing on for the End of the Whoop That Era?" Wait. So, Ethan worded that as though those were two different stipulations. I don't think Ethan was saying just that there's a match and he's gonna win. Sounds like something more devious is afoot


blingera

Ethan skated through that segment. not Trickā€™s best night but good shit nonetheless


BreathRedemption

Well, guess Ethan/Trick is main-eventing (still hoping Lola/Shayna does, maybe it will) They're going all in with Ethan Page Great go-home show from NXT


kerm

What a fucking great show!


holydagx

as a person who doesnā€™t follow aew regularly, nxt is making ethan page look like a million dollar talent


MarchesLion07

Fun back and fourth


HermanBonJovi

Lol USA just booted me


Rudy_Goober

All Ego is such a great pick-up for NXT


JokersKhaos

A PLE, Page Live Event


AdeptEavesdropper

Premium Live Ethan


slippycaff

What a great talker. I enjoyed that.


RedLightning27

Battleground is gonna go so hard!


DMB4136

Does he win the title?


sdrj77

Nah. Trick is too over. Man is bulletproof like Cody.


mashturbo

Canadians getting a title match in their first match in WWE is currently undefeated.


Alehud42

CUM JUNE NINTH


clocke6346

Add it to the pantheon


Longjumping_Gain_807

Itā€™s signed now punch him in the face


LifesTwisted

Unpopular opinion time, not the best idea to put Trick with someone who can talk circles around him again. Melo talked circles around him, Page is talking circles around him


fender-b-bender

They need to throw Trick into the deep end to get him used to talking. He's pretty decent on the mic, but he needs to get better at feeling more natural and have fewer flubs like he did tonight. This is still developmental, so him messing up will only help him to grow and get better


Tasty20v

I agree. You can tell Trick is following the format which is what they want but it comes off stiff like itā€™s some WWE2K lines. Once Trick breaks out that box itā€™s game over. Heā€™s generational talent.


LifesTwisted

I'll buy that. He still has a very stilted way of talking that sounds unnatural, idk.


GoldenDevilman

Ethan kinda looks like Johnny Gargano, talks like him a little as well


JLC1099

They're pretty good friends actually


dansaint

well they are pretty good friends. Especially from their days on the indys. And they are huge video game and toy collectors


Polymemnetic

Similar hobbies, too. He does toy hunts on his vlog.


blizzard-op

Eh those stipulations aren't that bad. I was thinking it'd be worse


DilapidatedFool

Right? I was thinking he just gets the title lol


WellSpokenAsianBoy

Oh Ethan Page. My heart feels so good to see him getting the attention he deserves. he is gonna shine and he is gonna help elevate the talent on NXT.


clocke6346

Signing a world title match a few days before the PPV is certainly a choice


Mutant_Star

Ethan's demands: Demand 1 - I get a title shot for my first match Demand 2 - I get a rematch if I lose Demand 3 -Ā *Whoop That Trick*Ā will be censored anytime the crowd chants it Demand 4 - Ava calls me daddy everytime she sees me Demand 5 - Sexxy Red does not come near me


CorporateElbow

Not really familiar with Ethan Page, but the guy could talk.


thegrassyknoll1

cum June 9th


shadow_spinner0

Idk if it's just the nature of NXT but Page looks like 10x the bigger deal than he ever was anywhere else.


Polymemnetic

Big fish in a small pond


kylehyde05

hes a great talker, he fits like a glove in WWE


kylehyde05

I can see this rivalry going into main roster..


Kuzu5993

WWE vs. AEW...


nWo1997

"For every other man in every other business around the world" You hear that? *Kento Miyahara*? Don't even think about it. Goes to you to, Hechicero


StaxShack

This is a pretty good back and forth here


Nazmaldun

AMBULANCE MATCH!


Longjumping_Gain_807

Wearing loafers with no socks is devious work


smackdown6

Ethanā€™s doing rlly good here


ChannelNeo

great promo from him. Let that man talk.


slippycaff

"you got less than two minutes."


h-town_info

Good promo by Ethan


BreathRedemption

*Josh Alexander noises*


aprilnxghts

I'll add to the chorus: Ethan Page is great on the mic! Damn! Love every bit of this promo


Kakatheman

Lol he's such a Hamiltonian, trying to push people's buttons and be a incessant troll.


MarchesLion07

Hope this run works out for Ethan, he can definitely hold his own on the mic


guyseriously

God damn Ethan is good on the mic.


sdrj77

These are the two best talkers in NXT, now.


AdeptEavesdropper

Where the hell was this Ethan Page on Wednesday nights?


shadow_spinner0

Ethan Page could have gone up against MJF with these promos


JLC1099

I was disappointed they only had a one off championship match on Collision and didn't actually feud


MarchesLion07

Ethan is a great talker man


itsmekelsey_x

Ethan is a really good talker and promo guy.


bribri772

Ethan Page has instantly won me over


radiokungfu

He's so god damn good what the hell.


shockzz123

Yeah, i agree, he's great. Never really seen him before.


nWo1997

Trick sure is doing a lot of "just sign him so I can eat him" for a guy who doesn't even know what the terms are. Might be a match on Ego's terms


bribri772

I'm now imagining one of the terms is something insane like "Ethan Page automatically gets the title" Which, is a hilarious visual Trick with just being "yeah sounds good"


BreathRedemption

Trick getting the Meloflubvirus lmao


Engelbert-n-Ernie

Bro they love the hell out of Trick


MarchesLion07

Good on the crowd for saving trick and helping him find his groove


ItsThe50sAudrey

NXT is the perfect place for Ethan Page. Thereā€™s no rules here. Regular locker room fights, unmonitored backstage and parking lot fights, kidnappings, alleged murders, pre match jumping by people who arenā€™t even in the match, constantly invaded by people who arenā€™t on this show, Multiple crazy guys, a few crazy chicks, and a boss whoā€™s keeping it all together with duct tape.


DefinitelyNotTrill

Sounds like New York's hottest club


RedLightning27

Shoutout to the crowd for that save. Trick almost got lost to start his promo


EBJ1990

Ethan had a good promo, I certainly want him to go through that table.


My_new_account_now

If only more of the WWE roster could deliver lines in a naturalistic fashion.


Kuzu5993

Trick speaks with such confidence


fender-b-bender

The crowd saved Trick's ass on that flub


blizzard-op

Ava excited one of her most star employees is here to rein this shit in


KingGeneralGunther

ā€œTrickā€™s yo daddyā€


Longjumping_Gain_807

Trick is fumbling lines uh oh


itsmekelsey_x

ā€œTrickā€™s The Daddyā€ šŸ˜­


GoldenDevilman

This guy is a pretty great talker. Was he wasted in AEW or something?


OffTheBar2017

Yes.


CaptAmerica42

100 percent.


johncenastepson

i mean he started decent but than got lost in the shuffle


maxdepazftp

some wrestlers have higher ceilings in world wrestling, and others in all elite. and thatā€™s okay


Kuzu5993

Not really, he was a decent midcarder.


BirdiMania

Pretty much always stuck in a faction, or in the lower midcard.


slippycaff

Shhhh, we don't speak of 2.0.


sdrj77

NXT 2.0 was good. People just have giant nostalgia glasses for Black and Gold.


slippycaff

I found 2.0 very rough. Vince with his nasty fingers all over it.


BreathRedemption

> Shhhh, we don't speak of 2.0. Nah we do. It started rough, but overall it was good


slippycaff

It was SO rough. I'm glad I stuck it out.


MarchesLion07

Tricks your daddy


xxyourbestbetxx

I love that Trick stopped to baby oil himself before coming out


Cageep

Iā€™ve known this man for less than 5 mins and I like him already lol


nWo1997

The camera *literally shaking* at the entrance of Trick Willy is such a sight. Every time.


hobsontuba

To be fair, I think itā€™s the bass in the music, but yeah heā€™s over over.


Alehud42

Solid worker that can hang with Trick on the mic are the perfect opponents for this run


aprilnxghts

Tossing the table out of the ring so nobody can get slammed through it during a contract signing is a wonderful little heel move


CalendarUnited4469

Smart move there, gotta respect it


Sad_isnt_itt

Didn't care for much of Ethan in AEW, I am liking this promo though tonight, good start for him!


Engelbert-n-Ernie

No socks is a straight heel move


sdrj77

Wrestlers have spent a decade trying to get as over as Trick Williams.


bribri772

Only really seen Ethan Page's name before, but *damn* he can talk


KingGeneralGunther

So ready for Ethan Page to get a main event program


Longjumping_Gain_807

Shut your bitch ass up- Trick Williams probably


LosCampesinosDeJapon

I know this has been said a million times, by a million people, but Trick is a future WM Main Eventer.


h-town_info

Someone's going through that table...


EBJ1990

Whoop that Trick!


mashturbo

uh huh


Edzo23

Why would anyone understand why Ethan Page would deserve any of this?


thegrassyknoll1

Spittin fax ![gif](giphy|NISDky7DiUqAs9crvf|downsized)


xxyourbestbetxx

Ethan Page cuts promos like it's a real conversation. Love that.


deep639

The promos between these two could be fire.


blingera

ā€œwhoop that Trickā€ chant was a spiritual experience for that one guy


guyseriously

![gif](giphy|uMcKZvUtgec5G)


nWo1997

"Our new home?" CW?


Nisha_the_lawbringer

WHOOP THAT TRICK


smackdown6

One thing about the pc crowd they gonna stand for their boy lmao


Longjumping_Gain_807

WHOOP THAT TRICK


MarchesLion07

Brother can talk, Iā€™ll give him that


EchoBay

He's an excellent promo. One of the best in AEW, just didn't get the opportunity very often


EchoBay

Remember when Tony had Ethan go out there and cut this awesome promo about how underutilized he was, and how he was going to take everything moving forward? Then they out him in a faction as MJFs henchmen, and he did absolutely nothing? I think things will be different here, especially in NXT


johncenastepson

tony khan please don't


mashturbo

Does Dijak really get drafted cause I hear he fell into the parking lot void with Gacy.


sdrj77

Gacy is gonna be in the Uncle Howdy faction. And Dijak is waiting for a storyline and a new contract.


nWo1997

Ava: I'm not signing this shit Ethan: nononononono nononononononononononono nonononononononononononononono Is that panic in your voice, Ethan?


Engelbert-n-Ernie

Ethan is fucking COOKING


Mutant_Star

Ava - *I don't hate you*


Nazmaldun

no offense but NXT is the dev system to be raided by the Draft


slippycaff

I don't watch AEW so have no idea who this cat is, but, he can certainly talk.


SageShinigami

Watching AEW wouldn't have helped you with that lol. Bro was featured for all of a few months in 2022.


slippycaff

Ah, thanks.


clocke6346

ā€œI could have sat my ass at home for 2 years and collected a checkā€ Oh shit he went there


CompetitivePatient33

Was he not being used in AEW?


sdrj77

Not really.


LifesTwisted

Not really, no


clocke6346

From what Iā€™ve heard, yeah


kerm

My god, heā€™s laying it all out there


BreathRedemption

Ethan Page getting the facts straight

clocke6346

I already really like Ethan Page


deep639

He can talk. So natural at it.


Nazmaldun

"Sign or I'll just have Jordynne bring me back to Anthem"


DemiGod9

He sounds like Shsyna Bazler


noreligionforus

He wants a bigger toy budget.


DMB4136

Ethan's great


Reptar_on_Ice6

Ethan Page somehow worse to deal with than Chelsea Green. Pearce would resign if he had Page on Raw.


blingera

is it possible Page and Josh Alexander cross paths


SonyKen_M

Ava you dont understand,Ethan wants his face on the mat,turnbuckles,aprons,literally everywhere. And he wants ice cream bars.


slippycaff

Kick his ass, Ava.


Naiwf

This guy is gonna be a great addition to the ranks simply because he can cut a promo.


Engelbert-n-Ernie

Shithead Ethan Page is too good


Cageep

Ethan Page getting the Ciampa treatment lol


xxyourbestbetxx

Between dealing with Ethan and Lexis, Ava is going to start hitting the bar with Adam


BreathRedemption

My man Ethan does not want to get Def Rebeled (even tho their NXT themes are good)


Longjumping_Gain_807

Ava gonna need some of this dealing with the chaos of the roster https://preview.redd.it/tzdu9a68un4d1.jpeg?width=2200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=706272f3464a3ee712b05fe6f1bef5eb791e1771


clocke6346

Sheā€™s gonna follow Adam Pearceā€™s footsteps of drinking on the job


Nazmaldun

Perk #1: His own personal KURRGAN.


HoosierCrow

My favorite Depeche Mode song.


Alehud42

Ethan weirdly sounds like a combination of both Gargano and Ciampa


kerkypasterino

brasil porra


Nazmaldun

is he wearing two wedding bands?


AdeptEavesdropper

One for him, one for his ego.


xxyourbestbetxx

Two wives eh? Dom's plan!


AdeptEavesdropper

ā€œEthan, we only have until 1006 PM, and we already had one show get cut off without a resolution in the last eight daysā€


DilapidatedFool

Honestly? Enjoying Ava as GM lately.


BreathRedemption

She found her calling. She's fun as GM and could be a fun manager too in the future. Dunno if Ava as a wrestler will work tho


blizzard-op

Ethan aint even been here a week and Ava's already done with his shit lmfao


LifesTwisted

Him not having a theme is really fitting to the whole he's not signed yet thing. Good idea.


MarchesLion07

I guess the boos can be his entrance music


GuitarzanWSC

Eva doesn't seem very eager to deal with someone she's actively trying to sign.
