On September 27 at WWE NXT No Mercy, North American Champion Ethan Page successfully defended his title against Tavion Heights but was quickly interrupted by a bold warning from AAA Latin American Champion El Hijo Del Dr Wagner Jr. The luchador appeared via video to issue a direct challenge to Page’s reign, setting up a tense rivalry between the two champions.
During the video message, El Hijo Del Dr Wagner Jr taunted Page, questioning his self-confidence and expressing his interest in challenging for the North American Title. The segment concluded with the luchador making a provocative hand gesture, adding to the tension between AAA and WWE talent.
Ethan Page’s Public Response on Social Media

Page previously competed for El Hijo Del Dr Wagner Jr’s AAA Latin American title at the Worlds Collide event on September 12, where he participated in a four-way match that also featured Dragon Lee and JD McDonagh.
