On February 24, during a WWE NXT episode, Ethan Page lost the NXT North American Championship to Myles Borne, concluding his 273-day reign, which ties the record for the longest in the title’s history alongside Oba Femi. The storyline between Page and Borne remained intense, continuing into the final episode before the NXT Vengeance Day event.
Myles Borne Holds Onto Title in Unplanned Match While Wearing Suits
In the March 3 episode of WWE NXT filmed in Orlando, Florida, Myles Borne successfully defended the NXT North American Championship against Ethan Page in a surprise match that unfolded after a heated exchange at the show’s start. Both competitors wrestled dressed in suits throughout the bout, with Page eventually reduced to his underwear during the confrontation. Borne secured victory by employing a deceptive move, striking Page with a shoe before executing his signature Borne Again finish for the pinfall.
Page voiced his belief that he deserved another chance at the title, highlighting his significant accomplishments.
He says Myles got lucky and anyone can have a good night. Ethan says he has had a million great nights. He became the fastest champion. Then he won the AAA Mixed Tag Champ. He was the longest reigning North American title. If anyone deserves a rematch it should be him,
Page stated during the segment.
Ongoing Discussions Over Ethan Page’s Potential Promotion to Main Roster
Reports reveal that WWE officials have been considering Ethan Page for a promotion to the main roster following his recent title loss. Since signing with the company in spring 2024, Page has become one of NXT’s most seasoned veterans, with management confident his blend of character work and experience makes him ready for broader opportunities.
Nevertheless, Page is unlikely to depart the Performance Center immediately. Insider sources suggest he will contend for the NXT Championship again, helping to strengthen the brand’s top-tier matches before officially moving to the main roster. This course would give Page a prominent role in NXT’s ongoing storylines while preparing him for larger-scale appearances.
Page has occasionally appeared on WWE’s main shows, most notably alongside Chelsea Green, his mixed tag team partner. The duo formerly held the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championships before Green was sidelined due to injury during an Elimination Chamber qualifying match.
