On Tuesday’s edition of WWE NXT, Ethan Page made history by securing another victory that extended his record for the most successful NXT North American Championship defenses during a single reign. Seeking a challenger from within the NXT brand, Page asked Interim General Manager Robert Stone to arrange an opponent, leading to Shiloh Hill stepping up at the perfect moment for the title contest.
Unexpected Interference and High-Stakes Action Unfold at Ringside
During the intense championship match, members of Vanity Project—Jackson Drake, Ricky Smokes, and Brad Baylor—attempted to assist Page by removing a ring mat, revealing the concrete floor beneath. However, this tactic backfired when Hill sent the trio crashing onto the exposed surface. Despite this chaos, Page was able to halt Hill’s momentum by delivering a Twisted Grin on the unforgiving concrete. Returning to the ring, Page executed a second Twisted Grin that decisively kept Hill down for the three-count, allowing Page to retain his title.
Rivalries Escalate as Future Championship Contender Emerges
The conflict did not end with the final bell. Myles Borne joined Hill in taking down Baylor, Smokes, and Drake. After neutralizing Vanity Project with a daring dive, Hill was backed by Borne, who then demanded a shot at Page’s championship for the upcoming week’s NXT show. Although Page initially resisted, a chair stomp to his foot forced him to concede, setting up the next high-stakes title defense. Despite the agreement, Borne immediately targeted Page’s foot once more, signaling an intense and uncertain rivalry moving forward.
