Ethan Page has to defend the WWE NXT North American Championship next week against a debuting star, and he’s not happy about it.
During tonight’s episode of WWE NXT, Ethan Page approached Ava backstage about his qualifying match to compete in the NXT Championship Ladder Match next month.
However, much to Page’s surprise, Ava isn’t allowing him to compete for the vacant championship due to him already holding a title. Ava did offer to give him a qualifying match if he would relinquish the title, but Page refused to do so.
So instead, Ava announced that Page would defend the NXT North American Championship next week against the debuting Elio LeFluer. When Page expressed his unhappiness with this, Ava reminded him that he got his first title match in the company in a very similar fashion.
