"I don't know if I love this anymore" - WWE star makes heartbreaking confession; almost in tears
The past few weeks have been challenging for Ethan Page on WWE NXT. He failed to win the Iron Survivor Challenge at NXT Deadline and then suffered a devastating defeat last week in an NXT North American Championship match against Tony D’Angelo.
Page’s confidence is at an all-time low. His self-doubt was evident in his promo following last week’s loss. During this week’s episode of WWE NXT, he delivered another emotional promo that nearly brought him to tears.
Page reflected on his wrestling journey and spoke about fulfilling his promise to his daughter by becoming NXT Champion in record time. However, he revealed the toll his recent losses have taken on him and his family. He shared how his daughter keeps checking his bags for the title he no longer holds, how his son cries after every loss, and how his wife’s look of disappointment is eating away at him.
Fighting back tears, Page admitted he doesn’t know if he loves wrestling anymore and declared that he has lost his smile.
"When I come home and see the look in my wife's eyes of disappointment, that's the part that's eating me alive. I don't know if I love this anymore, and to be honest with everybody, I've lost my smile," Page said. [2:40 onwards]
