Ethan Page might portray one of the most ruthless villains in WWE NXT, but outside the ring, he’s anything but.
NXT North American Champion Ethan Page recently appeared at a Meet & Greet at Cojo’s Toy World in New Bedford. A location that many longtime fans of Page would be familiar with from his popular toy hunt vlog series that aired on his YouTube channel when he competed for AEW.
Gazelle of FUN 107 took his cousin Tim to meet Page and detailed a heartwarming interaction between the WWE Superstar and his cousin.
“Tim is a lifelong wrestling fan. He can rattle off trivia, stats and storylines going back decades, and unlike most fans, he sometimes cheers for the “heels,” the name for the villains of the wrestling world. Ethan Page is one of those heels, a self-proclaimed “bad guy” from Canada. But when Tim finally got to meet him, it was clear there’s nothing villainous about him outside the ring.
“When Tim found himself overwhelmed and struggling to find the right words, the only thing he could say was, ‘I’m sorry, I’m on the spectrum and my words aren’t coming to me right now.’ Without missing a beat, Ethan immediately made him feel like the most important person in the room. He engaged Tim in conversation, reassured him, and gave him his full attention.
“The moment that really got Tim was when Page looked at him and said, ‘It’s so nice to meet you, Tim.’ For Tim, meeting Ethan Page was the dream, but realizing that he was just as excited to meet Tim was mind-blowing. On the ride home, he couldn’t stop smiling.
“Page didn’t just sign an autograph and move on. He posed for photos, handed Tim a complimentary signed picture, and took the time to connect on a personal level. From the first fan in line to the last, everyone received the same kind of love and respect.”
Page has yet to be able to show this side of his personality in WWE. However, this should come as no surprise to anyone who knows him from his time in AEW and TNA.
