Ethan Page Retained, but Cheated
Ethan Page is still the NXT North American Champion, but not without a fight from a debuting Elio LeFleur. The champion dominated the early goings, grounding the French Luchador and keeping him away from the skies where he’s so dangerous.
LeFleur finally grabbed the momentum and had the NXT Universe believing he could win, but Page used underhanded tactics and grabbed the challenger’s trunks to retain his title. Ricky Saints arrived as Page was coming backstage. He said that he and Page own NXT, but Page needs Saints more than Saints needed Page. Saints then joined the commentary table.
