Ethan Page thinks the relationship between NXT and TNA is great for both sides.
The former AEW star has close ties with both promotions. He is the current NXT Champion, winning the title just weeks after debuting in the company earlier this year.
However, he made his name in TNA before signing with AEW. Ethan Page used to team with Josh Alexander as “The North”, and the duo was one of the top tag teams in the promotion.
Ethan Page spoke with Scott Fishman for TV Insider, who asked about the current relationship between NXT and TNA. Page thinks the deal is great for everyone involved, including TNA talents being given a chance in WWE, and NXT talents getting more matches in TNA.
Ethan Page on the NXT/TNA partnership
“I think it’s great. Ultimately, if WWE NXT is looking at Ethan Page as someone with experience who can bring something to the table. Just instincts and the ability to grow over the last 17 or 18 years. If they are looking at me like that, I can only imagine they are looking the same way at TNA talent. Those who have had the same amount of time in. Ones I’ve shared that specific locker room with who are still grinding away and getting better every week. It’s perfect for WWE NXT.
“They can look at the roster. They’ve done great stuff with Jordynne. The stuff happening with Wes Lee and Zachary Wentz personally I’m enjoying. I want to see how that street fight will go on October 1. The same night I have to worry about my title match. The whole partnership with TNA and WWE NXT has been great. On top of that, NXT talent needs repetition and matches and opponents, here you have an entire other show they can perform on to get them those reps.”
