WWE’s Ethan Page Addresses Being The ‘Old Man’ In NXT

Posted by admin on September 28th, 2024

WWE star Ethan Page is one of the seniormost members of the “WWE NXT” roster, having been a part of the pro wrestling industry for nearly two decades, and he feels old amid the brand’s young stars.

Page, who recently turned 35, has been wrestling since 2006, featuring in various promotions like ROH, Impact Wrestling, and AEW, before joining WWE earlier this year. During his recent conversation on Chris Van Vliet’s “Insight” podcast, the “NXT” Champion praised the physiques of his peers on the roster, who are much younger than him in terms of experience and age.

“Dude, I feel old. I’m training with 20-year-old college athletes that are freaks of nature. That’s what this place is: breeding freaks of nature. And then here’s my broken down, 34-year-old ass in training and working out with these guys looking around, like, ‘Oh, yeah, I’m the old guy now,'” said Page.

Page has seemingly made the best use of the opportunities that he’s been given in WWE since switching from AEW, as he has featured heavily in prominent storylines and also won the “NXT” Championship just a month after his WWE debut. The “NXT” Champion is one of the few older stars as part of the new-look “NXT” headed by WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels, with the likes of Shawn Spears, Andre Chase, Cedric Alexander, Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, Noam Dar, and Ridge Holland being some of the few experienced wrestlers on the developmental brand.

Over the last few years, there has been a churn of sorts in the “NXT” roster, as several experienced stars have left or been moved to the main roster, with the promotion bringing in young talent. Several of the newly signed stars are part of WWE’s NIL program, which aims to recruit young, talented college athletes from various sporting disciplines.

AEW Star Sammy Guevara Explains His Panda Hat Accessory

Former AEW TNT Champion Sammy Guevara has explained why he wore a panda hat at the inaugural Double or Nothing show, and the price he paid for it.

Guevara, who was one of the first stars to join AEW, was a part of the promotion’s first show, Double or Nothing 2019, where he faced and lost to Kip Sabian in a singles match. During a recent conversation with Diamond Dallas Page on X, he explained the reason behind the panda hat.

“It’s almost the same thing, I’m trying to think of ways that can stand out. Especially those first shows, first Double or Nothing and first ‘Dynamite,’ I know there’s going to be a lot of great matches, and I know people are not familiar with me, especially that time, in 2019. So I’m like, I know I’m going to go out there and do a great match, but there’s going to be a lot of great matches tonight. I need something that’s going to stand out more,” recalled Guevara. “And my favorite animal is a panda, so I was like, ‘What if I wear a panda head,’ and then I looked on Etsy and there was a lady that made it, but I had to rush her — ’cause I thought about it, like, two, three weeks before the match. She was like, ‘I can’t do it in time.’ I’m like, ‘Name your price, let’s get it happening.'”

The AEW star then asked the WWE Hall of Famer to guess how much he paid for the panda hat, with DDP guessing $1,000. Guevara surprised the WCW legend by revealing that he had paid $2,500 for it, which he admitted was a lot of money for him at the time, as he didn’t have much.
