Recently signed WWE star makes bold prediction ahead of major title match
A newly signed WWE Superstar has made a bold claim ahead of an upcoming title match. The promotion is getting set for NXT Battleground at the UFC Apex in Nevada.
Ethan Page appeared during the final segment of last week's episode of NXT and attacked Trick Williams. NXT GM Ava officially signed All Ego to a contract last night and announced a huge title match for this weekend. Page will be facing Williams for the NXT Championship in his first match with the promotion.
Ahead of his title match against Williams, the former AEW star noted that it took him 17 years to get a contract with WWE. However, he also predicted that it would only take him one match to become champion.
"Took 17 years to sign on the dotted line with @wwenxt …. But only one match to become a CHAMPION!" he wrote.
Ethan Page claimed that he had not signed a contract with the promotion following his appearance last week. However, he signed his deal live on television last night and has a chance to become the new NXT Champion at Battleground this weekend.
