WWE is preparing to elevate Ethan Page to their main roster, following recent promotions of NXT talents like Oba Femi and Trick Williams. After impressing officials throughout his tenure in NXT, Page is expected to soon debut on either RAW or SmackDown as WWE moves to strengthen its main event scene.
Progress Toward Main Roster Integration
Having joined WWE in May 2024, Ethan Page quickly established himself as a dominant competitor by capturing the NXT North American Championship twice and also holding the NXT Championship. His recent loss of the North American title to Myles Borne appears to set the stage for his transition to WWE’s flagship shows.
Industry sources report that Page has earned strong support from WWE management, with conversations underway regarding his upcoming call-up. The former AEW star is expected to have one final push in the NXT main event spotlight before stepping up to the main roster.
Page has attracted praise from significant figures in WWE, including Shawn Michaels, who leads NXT’s booking team. Michaels has recognized Page and his tag partner Chelsea Green as among the most entertaining performers in the company. The Canadian wrestler’s current heel persona resonates well with NXT audiences and may translate effectively to a broader fanbase on RAW or SmackDown.
Positioning Ethan Page Within WWE’s Larger Strategy
As WWE prepares to bring Page into the main roster environment, determining a definite role for him remains crucial. His combination of charisma and in-ring skill makes him an asset too valuable to be underutilized in a background capacity.
A key concern is the delay in Page’s promotion, which some attribute to creative challenges in differentiating him amid an already crowded field of heels on both main roster brands. Finding a unique angle for Page is necessary to avoid him blending in.
One proposed plan is to integrate Page into The Vision faction, potentially filling the vacancy left by Bronson Reed, who is sidelined for the foreseeable future with a shoulder injury. This group focuses on assembling young, promising wrestlers regarded as the future of WWE, fitting Page’s profile perfectly.
This opportunity could offer mutual benefits: Page could gain prominence as part of a major act on WWE television, while The Vision might regain the momentum lost after injuries to members such as Bron Breakker and Seth Rollins. If Page can replicate his NXT success, he may even emerge as a contender in the main event scene.
His talent on the microphone also stands out; aside from Paul Heyman, Page is arguably the best speaker within the faction, a quality that could elevate his character and storylines significantly.
