Ethan Page has had a great run as\u00a0<\/span><\/span>North American Champion so far<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>since winning it<\/span>\u00a0in late<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>May last year<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>He has\u00a0<\/span><\/span>retained<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>against men such as\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Moose, Mr. Iguana, Santino Marella, and Tyler Breeze<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, beating Shiloh Hill on the February 17,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>2026<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>episode of NXT<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>got him a pretty special distinction. He now has the most successful North American Championship defenses out of any titleholder<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>with twelve<\/span>. That puts him in a league of his own, while a<\/span>lso inviting many people to take the title away from him.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After the match was over, Myles Borne attacked him<\/a> and demanded a title match<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>next week<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>He originally said no, but after his leg got stomped by a cha<\/span>ir, Borne was granted the match. There are many reasons as to why Borne should become the new North American Champion.<\/span><\/p>\n
