As the WWE continues to navigate the world of NXT, one of its most recognizable stars has sparked conflicting emotions among fans and insiders alike. Ethan Page, a hard-hitting wrestler known for his unapologetic attitude, has been a staple on the NXT brand for some time. However, with recent rumors suggesting his potential graduation to the main roster, many are left wondering what this could mean for the future of NXT.
In a recent interview, Bully Ray, a veteran wrestler and respected voice within the industry, expressed his conflicted feelings regarding Ethan Page’s potential move to the main roster. On the one hand, Ray praised Page’s skills and work ethic, stating that he has the potential to thrive at the highest level.
“Ethan Page has come a long way since his early days in NXT,” Ray said. “He’s got a real knack for getting under people’s skin, and his in-ring ability is top-notch. If he’s going to make the jump to the main roster, I think he’s got a real shot at making a name for himself.”
However, Ray also expressed concerns that Page’s departure from NXT could leave a void in the brand’s talent pool. According to Ray, Page has become an integral part of the NXT roster, and his absence could be felt throughout the brand.
“The thing is, Ethan Page is more than just a wrestler in NXT – he’s a leader,” Ray said. “He’s got a presence that’s hard to ignore, and he’s been instrumental in helping to shape the NXT brand into what it is today. If he were to leave, I think NXT would definitely feel the loss.”
Sources close to the WWE have revealed that Page’s potential graduation to the main roster has been a topic of discussion among WWE brass for some time. While no official decision has been made, many believe that Page’s time in NXT has come to an end.
“Ethan Page has been one of the most consistent performers in NXT over the past year or so,” a WWE insider revealed. “He’s got the kind of charisma and in-ring ability that makes him a natural fit for the main roster. However, there’s also a sense that he’s been a key part of NXT’s identity, and losing him could be a blow to the brand.”
One potential solution to this dilemma could be for the WWE to find ways to keep Page involved in NXT, even if he’s not a full-time member of the roster. According to Ray, this could involve having Page make sporadic appearances on NXT, or even working behind the scenes to help develop new talent.
“I think the WWE could learn a thing or two from the way they’ve handled guys like Finn Bálor and Samoa Joe in the past,” Ray said. “Those guys were able to make the jump to the main roster, but they still maintained a presence in NXT, which helped to keep their fans engaged. I think Ethan Page could benefit from a similar approach.”
In the end, only time will tell what the future holds for Ethan Page and NXT. While his potential graduation to the main roster is certainly an exciting prospect, it’s also a reminder that the WWE is constantly evolving, and change is always on the horizon.
As for Bully Ray, he remains hopeful that Page will succeed in whatever path he chooses, while also acknowledging the potential impact of his departure.
“I just want to see Ethan Page do well, wherever he ends up,” Ray said. “He’s a talented wrestler with a lot of heart, and I think the world of him. Whatever the future holds, I’m confident that he’ll make the most of it.”
