Former AEW and TNA superstar Ethan Page has rocketed to the top of "WWE NXT," winning the brand's top title just weeks after debuting in the company. Throughout his time in AEW and TNA, he crossed paths multiple times with former TNA World Champion Matt Hardy.
On the latest "Extreme Life Of Matt Hardy," Matt Hardy said he was thrilled for the new NXT Champion.
"Super proud of Ethan [Page] for believing in himself," Matt Hardy said. The former ECW Champion thinks AEW President Tony Khan had a limited perception of Ethan Page, and "NXT" was a chance for Ethan Page to prove his worth to the business. "Ethan didn't just settle for a payday. He wanted to go somewhere where he could still bust his ass and grind away and become a champion and continue to elevate his status."
Matt Hardy says he saw "great talent" in Ethan Page, which he had told the champion when Ethan Page left AEW earlier this year. Matt Hardy also had a similar journey, leaving AEW after his contract expired and returning to TNA Wrestling alongside his brother Jeff Hardy. Like Ethan Page, Matt Hardy's return to TNA led to a world title match, though Matt Hardy has been less successful on that front than Ethan Page.
Ethan Page debuted on "NXT" at the end of May, attacking then-champion Trick Williams. Trick Williams got the better of Ethan Page at "NXT" Battleground, but his second chance at "NXT" Heatwave was successful, taking advantage of Trick Williams being pulled out of the ring and covering Je'Von Evans to win the title.
