Ethan Page retains his 1st WWE NXT Championship defense but is pinned by Oro Mensah
Ethan Page shocked the world when he fell on Je'Von Evans and won the NXT Championship in NXT Heartwave's Fatal 4-Way, ending Trick Williams' Championship reign much sooner than expected. Despite the win, Page hasn't been able to shake the constant threat of Oro Mensah , who has been attacking him every chance he gets. Tonight Page gave a Title shot to the first person he could think of in order not to give it to Mensah, and that would turn out to be Dante Chen .
Chen kicked out of a pin attempt but came back with some solid offense, and then hit a big kick to the head of the Champ. Chen continued to gain momentum after almost covering the Champ, and then Chen connected with a number of strikes before some clotheslines. A missed kick gave Page a chance to get back in it, but then Chen almost rolled Page up again. Page kicked out and then got almost pinned a third time, and Page looked to buy some space from the challenger.
Page already denied Mensah's challenge for the Title once before, but now that he's pinned the Champ that might not be something Page can avoid. Page was approached after the match backstage and asked about what Mensah had done and if it bothered him, and Page wasn't too happy with the question."Stop. He didn't pin me. That didn't count. I'm still the NXT Champion, and for the record, none of this bothers me," Page said as he started to leave the building.
