In the main event of WWE NXT Battleground, Trick Williams defended the NXT Championship against Ethan Page.
Ethan Page arrived in NXT on the June 4 episode of NXT and attacked Trick Willims. Page negotiated with General Manager Ava the following week and secured a title shot at NXT Battleground on June 9.
Page and Williams faced off in a buzzworthy bout on Sunday, and they battled back and forth. “All Ego” took a big swing by slamming Williams throughout the broadcast table. In the end, Page argued with the referee, and Williams capitalized on the distraction by hitting the Trick Shot for the win.
After the bell, Wiliams celebrated his win with NXT Battleground host Sexyy Red.
