Ethan Page was once told he would never be signed by WWE.
The current Raw star recently spoke to Chris Van Vliet for a new interview. He talked about things such as working with Chelsea Green, taking Je’Von Evans’ teeth out with a brutal chair shot, his favorite cheat meal, and more.
During the talk, the 36-year-old was also asked if there was a time he thought he would never be signed by WWE. Ethan Page revealed that he was actually told by the company that they were never going to hire him when he was leaving TNA back in 2021:
“There was the time I was leaving TNA, and I decided not to stay. In that window, I had gotten an email while in Nashville, recording the show for Impact, and the email was from WWE, telling me that they’re never going to hire me. So I had my camera, and I’m vlogging. I read the email, and I’m like, oh man, what am I going to do?”
Nothing Was Concrete: Ethan Page
Ethan Page mentioned that his wife encouraged him to start vlogging everything very early in his career. He had the camera with him, and Page has the video of the conversation he had with himself right after WWE told him to stop trying to get signed:
“I just told Impact that I’m not staying. AEW was a possible option, but nothing was concrete. Then I get this email being like, ‘Yeah, we’re not hiring you, just stop.’ Pretty much this is the end of the road, it’s not gonna happen, just let it go.
So I filmed myself right after reading the email, and then had a conversation with myself documenting it, pretty much being like, ‘You gonna be okay with this, or are you gonna like shove it up their ass?’”
The former AEW star made his debut for Tony Khan’s promotion in March 2021. He had a 3-year run with the company before leaving in February 2024 to join NXT.
