Page was left laying in the middle of the ring with the Canadian flag draped over him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breeze came out to simply mock Page by going and taking a selfie with him as he lays defeated in the ring. This act can be looked at as a challenge by Breeze, as they now have an NXT North American Championship match at Homecoming. Next week will Tyler Breeze be able to return to his roots holding his first singles championship with NXT?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><b>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><i>Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013 Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/i><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\"><em><u><i>Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/i><\/u><\/em><\/a><em><i> for more on WWE NXT previews and other news stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
