NXT Champion Ethan Page has crossed paths with CM Punk in recent weeks. Moving forward, he says he’d like to work with him more.
Page will defend his title against Trick Williams on the October 1st episode of NXT, and Punk will be the special referee. Punk and Page have had a few segments together leading up to the match. Ahead of the title match, Page said he wants more.
Speaking with Rick Ucchino for The Takedown on SI, Ethan Page commented on working with Punk.
“These two characters, Ethan Page and CM Punk, I would love to see more and what they’re able to do with each other. Accomplish with each other,” Page said. “If CM Punk wants to go to Chicago and try and make everything about himself, like he usually does, I’ll happily let him because the more eyes watching on October 1st on the CW Network, the better off I’ll be. And the more eyes on Ethan Page means the more attention I can steal away from CM Punk trying to get his glory in his hometown… again… for probably the 30th time now.”
Page has also said that he wants to face Randy Orton. Check out his comments here.
WrestleZone will have coverage of NXT as it airs on October 1.
