Ethan Page is looking forward to wrestling Kenny Omega on the December 9 AEW Collision.
Ethan Page laid down the challenge to meet Kenny Omega in the ring on the December 9 AEW Collision. Kenny accepted the challenge and the two are now set for action, but going into the match, Ethan is preoccupied and hurt by his run-ins with Tony Nese in Ring of Honor.
Ahead of the match on December 9, Page spoke to AEW in a digital exclusive about how he's feeling ahead of the match and what his goals are when stepping into the ring with one of the best in the world.
"Well, I was put through a table two days ago. My ribs are not 100%. So you're telling me this is one of the biggest matches of my career and I'm not feeling too hot right now," Page said. "On top of it, a thing that's kind of been pissing me off all week is that people have literally been congratulating me on having a match announced against another man that breathes the same air as me. I don't know why people feel the need to congratulate me on talking my way into a marquee match in the country that I was born in. So I'm not in a good mood, but I'm 100% here because it's my job, and I'm going to do my job.
"I'm gonna make sure I earn my pay tonight," he continued. "I do know for a fact that Kenny Omega makes more money than me, so I'm going to make sure he earns his pay today. Does that answer your question about my excitement for the match tonight? I'm in a bit of a mood. Everyone in this locker room patting me on the back for wrestling somebody else just proves how weak-minded everybody is here and my mindset going into tonight is making sure Kenny Omega earns his pay."
