Ethan Page wants to keep working with CM Punk.
On the October 1 edition of WWE NXT, CM Punk served as the official for the NXT Championship match between Trick Williams and Ethan Page. During the match, Page tried to taunt Punk by hitting Williams with a Go To Sleep. After the bout was over, Punk got revenge on Page by nailing him with the move as Williams celebrated with the NXT Championship.
While speaking to The Takedown On Sports Illustrated for an interview that was taped before Tuesday's NXT, Ethan Page talked about wanting to work with Punk more in the future.
“I look at CM Punk and the first thing I want to do is put a microphone in his hand. I look at Ethan Page, the next thing I want to do is put a microphone in his hand and I just want to see them talk. The fact that I got to do that, I think maybe WWE has the same thought process of, look, we’re gonna let this guy talk, we’re gonna let this guy talk, we’ll see what happens. To me, it’s like these two characters, Ethan Page and CM Punk, I would love to see more and what they’re able to do with each other and accomplish with each other. But, October 1, that’s not really the case, one is a referee and the other is defending their championship in the main event. So, if CM Punk wants to go to Chicago and try to make everything about himself like he usually does, I’ll happily let him because the more eyes watching on October 1 on The CW network, the better off I’ll be. The more eyes on Ethan Page means the more attention that I can steal away from CM Punk trying to get his glory back in his hometown probably for the 30th time now.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Page praised Shawn Michaels for being a great leader. Learn more about those comments by clicking here.
