Ethan Page has recently claimed that CM Punk played a pivotal role in costing him his NXT Title during a match against Trick Williams. Page, speaking on Sports Illustrated’s The Takedown, suggested that Punk’s involvement as the special guest referee was the key factor in his loss. Page, who has been working hard to establish himself as one of the top heels on NXT, also revealed that he had hoped for a quick move to the main roster and was willing to “return the favor” to Punk for allegedly screwing him over in the match. Page, 35, emphasized his desire to earn big money to support his family, including his two kids and wife, which motivates his ambition to rise in WWE.
CM Punk, who made a major return to WWE in late 2024, is now focused on finding new rivalries after his victory at Survivor Series: WarGames. While his rivalry with Drew McIntyre has concluded, there’s speculation about potential future feuds, with fans eagerly anticipating a clash between Punk and top names like Seth Rollins, Gunther, or even a continued story with Bronson Reed. A strong feud heading into the 2025 Royal Rumble could keep Punk relevant and in the limelight as WrestleMania 41 approaches.
