Ethan Page comments on his departure from AEW.
Page left AEW/ROH earlier in 2024 and made his surprise debut on the May 28 episode of WWE NXT. Within weeks, he won the NXT Championship at NXT Heatwave.
Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Ethan Page commented on leaving AEW.
“It was time. Yeah, it was time,” Page said. “I wasn’t getting what I magically got here, which was the opportunity to show what I bring to the table.”
Page was then asked whether he thought his current run was possible after his AEW departure, and he admitted that he did not.
“No,” Ethan Page said. I had 70 independent dates scheduled because I was like, Oh, I got two kids. Got this house, these cars, I moved to America we just got our green cards. This is where we live now, so I have to make sure that my children are fed and the bills are paid. So no, I didn’t.”
