10 Hottest Free Agents In Wrestling Today

9. Ethan Page

As a stocky Canadian with a beard and a not-always-so-great attitude, Ethan Page draws undeniable comparisons to current WWE superstar Kevin Owens. Still, the differences between the two men are more considerable than the similarities - except for the fact that both are hugely talented.

Page's most high-profile spot these days is in EVOLVE Wrestling, which puts him on WWE's radar by default. In 2015, Page feuded with the company's top star (and WWE contractee) Johnny Gargano, taking "Johnny Wrestling" on in a series of increasingly brutal matches. The two men finally had a "I Quit" Match at EVOLVE 49, where if Page won, Gargano would have to leave the company forever. Instead, the former Dragon Gate USA Champion forced Page to quit.

After that loss, Page promised to turn over a new leaf and work his hardest to win the respect of Gargano and the fans. It was a classic pro-wrestling line, a setup for a turn, but the turn hasn't come - and the charismatic Page has gotten over as a babyface. Along with Gargano and TJP, he's taken a stand against the invading forces represented by Drew Galloway and Ethan Carter III.

All of that is a roundabout way of saying that Page shows great skill no matter what role he plays, and would be a fantastic signing for any of the world's major promotions.
