Ethan Page is signed to AEW, but his contract is owned by Matt Hardy.
Matt's contract was previously owned Page, Stokely Hathaway, and The Firm, but Matt, with help from Jeff Hardy and HOOK, gained control of his own contract in the Firm Deletion and won Page's contract at AEW Double or Nothing 2023. Page and Matt have been feuding for the better part of 2023.
Speaking to VIBE 105, Page was asked what his younger self would think working with Matt & Jeff in 2023 after growing up a fan of the duo.
"There are two answers to that question. There is part of me that would say, 'Yeah, of course, because I'm going to be one of the best ever.' Then there is the other part of me that would be like, 'Really, those guys? The Hardy Boys? These action figures I'm playing with right now? Weird.' That would blow my mind," he said. "Jeff Hardy personally made me those arm sleeves that they forced me to wear on Rampage. There were wrestlers that saw him give them to me, I was annoyed, but they were like, 'this is so cool.' Yes, there is part of it that is incredible and I'm grateful, but I don't need another man telling me to pull some sleeves up and look like a jackass. Double-edge sword here. Yes, childhood dreams are coming true, but they're making me miserable."
Recently, Page has been dressing and acting more like the Hardys on their request.
When asked if he thinks he'll be forced to paint his face, Page replied, "Oh God. I hope not. Why are you going to cover [this face] up? Matt Hardy owns my contract, and he wants to make money, he's going to paint my face? It would be like letting your kid use finger paints on a Ferrari and saying that it's going to make the car look better."
Page teamed with Big Bill & Lee Moriarty on the June 9 episode of AEW Rampage in a loss to Bandido & The Lucha Brothers (Penta El Zero Miedo & Rey Fenix).
