Number Of TV Matches: 4

Here's the most recent example featured.

Ethan Page must think he's won the lottery. His final match under the AEW umbrella was a five minute win over Anthony Henry on the 22 February 2024 ROH HonorClub. Let's be honest: Hardly anyone reading this would've watched that match, 'cause Honor exists on the outer fringes of wrestling these days.

Less than five months on, Page is the new NXT Champion. He lost out to Trick Williams on his in-ring debut at Battleground on 9 June, then worked a 25-man Battle Royal and scored a victory over Je'Von Evans on TV before winning the title at Heatwave on 7 July. That was Ethan's 4th WWE match.

His smile in the pic above says everything.
