Appearing on Ringer Wrestling Worldwide, current NXT superstar and former IMPACT talent Ethan Page was asked about the partnership.

"I could personally care less, for me. As a fan, I love it. I love it because I was a fan of TNA. When I was in IMPACT, I was petitioning to change it to TNA and everyone was like, 'We're never doing that. TNA has too much stink on it. We're never doing that.' Now look. Everybody can kiss my ass, they're doing great. TNA is back, baby. I'm very happy about that, as a fan. Total Nonstop Action, loved it. To see the partnership is amazing. To think it would have been possible, hell no. I got in trouble for saying TNA while I was in IMPACT. I never thought TNA would come back, never mind TNA teaming up with WWE. That is bonkers," said Page.

TNA talent were heavily featured at WWE NXT Roadblock with TNA Tag Team Champions The Hardys (Matt Hardy & Jeff Hardy) and TNA X Division Champion Moose competing.

Elsewhere during the interview, Page revealed he was given the Twisted Grin. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
