Booker T has been very impressed by WWE NXT World Champion Ethan Page’s time with the gold brand and believes he has fit in the show perfectly.
Page joined WWE NXT earlier this year and captured the NXT World Championship at last week’s Heatwave event in a fatal four-way encounter.
On a recent edition of his “Hall of Fame” podcast, Booker T acknowledged how well Page has fallen into the WWE NXT system. He said,
“Ethan Page, six weeks, man, six weeks since joining NXT, and now he’s the NXT Champion. What a ride this kid is on. What a ride Ethan Page is on. When he was in AEW, and I’m not just saying this, I always thought he was a guy that stood out. I always thought he wanted more. He wanted to be the frontman. Every time I saw him, he was talking. I don’t know what it was, but it was something about him. Now, he’s a part of NXT. I’ve liked his work since he joined the company. Him becoming champion is definitely is a flip-the-script moment. Nobody really saw this coming. We were in the ‘Whoop that Trick’ era, and then all of a sudden, boom. We changed gears, and now we’re in the ‘All Ego’ era.”
On this week’s episode of WWE NXT, Page dubbed his reign the ‘Era of All Ego’ and was confronted by several Superstars.
In the main event, Page and Shawn Spears lost to Trick Williams and TNA Wrestling’s Joe Hendry, the latter of whom replaced Je’Von Evans.
