“WWE NXT” star Ethan Page has adopted a more aggressive attitude in recent weeks, with Dante Chen being the latest victim. Chen’s misfortune came on this week’s episode of “WWE NXT,” in which Page defeated him in the ring, then slammed the nearby steel steps against his dislodged foot. According to Page, Chen should be “grateful” for this series of events, despite the pain that accompanied it.
“He got to do what The Rock did last week, share a screen with Ethan Page,” Page said. “Open radio broken.” “I also just gave him a paid vacation. Who knows how long he’s gone. It’s like the cool thing to do now, stay home and get paid and not earn his salary. It’s pretty normal in wrestling now I made Dante a star. There you go, collect your check, buddy.
Following Page’s attack on Chen after the match, Je’Von Evans rushed out, attempting to get revenge for his own attack he suffered at the hands of Page last month. Unfortunately for Evans, the former NXT Champion once again gained the upper hand by targeting his jaw, which had since been sealed shut.
“People watch the show because of me, the big star of the show,” Page added. “Everyone who watches me is now going to see them. Isn’t that how it works? Nobody was excited to see me (at NXT this week). All I got was a lack of respect, especially from Dante Chen, so yeah, it made me very happy to show him that he needs to treat me with a little more respect.”
