In a whirlwind of surprises and sudden changes, the wrestling world was shocked last week when Ethan Page, former AEW and Impact Wrestling star made his unexpected debut on “WWE NXT.” His visit was not just an event; The NXT champion was a complete assault on none other than reigning champion Trick Williams. With the NXT Championship hoisted above his head, Page sent shock waves through the wrestling community, sparking speculation and anticipation of what would happen next
But amidst the excitement and buzz surrounding Paige’s arrival, NXT champion Trick Williams finds himself in a tough spot. Speaking candidly on “Busted Open Radio,” Williams opened up about her feelings about Paige suddenly entering the NXT station. “I feel conflicted about it,” Williams admitted. “NXT, we’ve come a long way … since day 2.0, and a lot of work, building the show into what it is today.”
Williams’ sentiments are shared by many in the NXT universe. The brand’s journey from humble beginnings to its current status as a major force in the world of professional wrestling is nothing short of impressive and in Williams, who has worked tirelessly to climb through the ranks to capture the prestigious NXT Championship, Page has a sudden challenge.
“I worked very hard to earn my rights in this here title. I didn’t take any shortcuts on it,” Williams insisted. “Last week we had a guy named Ethan Page jump on our brand and try to go straight up for the title. I just didn’t know how I was supposed to feel about it.”
Yet, despite his reservations, Williams knows that the world of professional wrestling is as unpredictable as it is unforgiving. As rumors swirl and tensions mount, it seems inevitable that Williams will soon find himself defending his title against the formidable Ethan Page.
Since claiming the NXT Championship from Ilja Dragunov in April, Williams has yet to put his title on the line. However, his ongoing feud with the Meta-Four has kept him embroiled in heated battles, paving the way for potential challengers to emerge. And emerge they have, with Page’s recent attacks on the Meta-Four members catapulting him to the forefront of the NXT Championship picture.
As the stage is set for a showdown of epic proportions, the NXT Universe braces itself for what promises to be a clash for the ages. Will Trick Williams rise to the challenge and prove his mettle as a fighting champion? Or will Ethan Page’s arrival mark the dawn of a new era in NXT, one defined by unpredictability and upheaval?
Only time will tell, but one thing is for certain: the wrestling world will be watching with bated breath as these two titans collide in a battle for supremacy.
