Ethan Page Wins NXT North American Title, Advances to WWE x AAA Worlds Collide – Ethan Page is the new WWE NXT North American Champion after defeating Ricky Saints in a vicious and emotionally charged title match on the May 27 episode of WWE NXT.
The weeks-long rivalry between Page and Saints reached a violent climax as the two clashed in a match that quickly spilled out of the ring. The animosity between them was palpable, with both men unleashing weeks of frustration in a match defined by brutality and intensity. A pivotal moment came when Page delivered a devastating Twisted Grin on the outside, which caused Saints’ throat to strike the crossbar of a steel chair. The injury had immediate consequences, visibly impairing Saints’ ability to continue at full strength.
Though Saints valiantly fought on, it was clear he was struggling. Page methodically targeted the injury throughout the remainder of the match, eventually hitting another Twisted Grin inside the ring to score the pinfall and claim his first title in NXT.
Ricky Saints’ title reign ends at 57 days, a tenure marked by high-profile defenses and rapid growth in fan support. However, the lingering injury from the chair spot was ultimately too much to overcome, allowing Page to exploit the weakness and secure a hard-fought victory.
With this win, Ethan Page now heads to WWE x AAA Worlds Collide, where he is scheduled to defend his NXT North American Championship. As of now, his opponent for that event remains unnamed, but Page will enter the match with momentum and confidence after a statement-making performance.
Page’s win not only marks the beginning of a new era for the NXT North American Championship, but also solidifies his status as a top threat in the brand’s competitive singles division.
