Ethan Page is officially a member of the WWE Raw roster, and his first night on the main roster ended with a statement made by an unlikely source.
On the post-WrestleMania 42 edition of Raw in Las Vegas, Page was introduced by SmackDown General Manager Adam Pearce as Raw’s newest superstar during a backstage segment involving Je’Von Evans and Intercontinental Champion Penta.
Pearce made a match between Page and Evans official on the spot, and Page won the bout to kick off his main roster run with a victory.
The night did not end there. Following the match, Rusev attacked Evans before Penta ran in to make the save. Page then stepped in to distract Penta, allowing Rusev to shift his assault onto the champion. Rusev stood tall holding the Intercontinental Championship to close the segment, setting up what appears to be a clear program for the title in the weeks ahead.
Page joined NXT in May 2024 and quickly established himself as one of the brand’s top performers. He held both the NXT North American Championship and the NXT Championship during his developmental run, most recently competing in a title match against Tony D’Angelo at NXT Revenge before the call-up.
While Page had appeared on WWE’s main roster programming before, the April 20 Raw marks the first time he has competed in a match on the red brand.
