Former AEW star receives a major championship match after signing WWE contract

After leaving AEW and making his WWE debut last week on NXT, "All Ego" Ethan Page signed a contract and is now an official member of the Stamford-based company's developmental brand, which functions under the leadership and supervision of Shawn Michaels. He was also granted an NXT Championship match at Battleground 2024.

The Rock's daughter, Ava, tried to sign him in her office but the negotiations did not go well. Page had some big demands, and insisted on signing the contract in the ring in front of the WWE Universe. He attacked Trick Williams last week, and a shot at the NXT Championship was another thing that he demanded.

During the main event segment between Ethan Page, Whoop That Trick, and Ava, the former AEW star told Trick Williams that he craved the spotlight that comes with being the champion. He then signed on the dotted line. Williams asked Ava to sign as well, but she refused because she could not agree to the stipulations.

Ethan Page said if Ava signed it, she would be signing on for two things. First of all, the 34-year-old star getting an NXT Championship match at Battleground in his first WWE match. Secondly, the end of the Whoop That Trick era. Williams encouraged Ava to sign the contract anyway, and she did. The title match was made official for this Sunday.
