Ethan Page Speaks To 411 On NXT/EVOLVE Partnership, Making It To WWE, His Triple H-Inspired Entrance, Kevin Owens, More

I spoke with Ethan Page this week. Highlights of my interview are below.

On The NXT/EVOLVE Partnership: “I think it’s really cool. It gives people more of a reason to pay attention to Evolve and stay ahead of the curve. I believe that, at any time, anyone from the Evolve roster could end up in the WWE, that’s why they’re in Evolve in the first place. More eyes on me as well, so I’m really happy about that.”

On When He Wants To Make It To WWE: “That’s my ultimate goal, especially this year. I want to make it to the WWE by 2017.”

On Working With Sami Zayn: “That was really cool. Especially because, as you were saying, it as one of the most buzzworthy things on the independents at the time. So, to be picked out of a select few guys that got to have some interaction with him in the ring, I have to thank Gabe Saposlky for that. Any opportunity is good, especially when you’re brushing shoulders with WWE talent.”

On Who in WWE He Wants To Work With: “Kevin Owens would be cool because we worked each other on the indies. Promo wise, I think it would be really good. Randy Orton is another one. I was a big fan of his while watching wrestling, so working with him would be great.”

On His Triple H-inspired Entrance At EVOLVE 49: “Because of the NXT buzz that was going around, it wasn’t out of the realm of possibility that Triple H would show up. So, I give full credit to Gabe Saposlky for coming up with the idea, but I can’t give anyone else but me the credit for the execution of it, but it was his idea. That’s what I love about pro wrestling. Having fun, the entertainment aspect of it and being able to make the crowd go ‘oh crap, what the hell?’ At that time, Sami Zayn was there and Triple H had just talked about it in a press conference and everyone was like ‘oh shit, he’s here.'”

On His Working Relationship with Gabe Saposlky: “I think over time, we’ve developed a pretty good working relationship, especially when it comes to creative stuff like promos. More or less, he’ll send me what he wants me to do, I try to execute it the best way that I can, maybe he’ll have some tweaks and then we’re off to the races. It’s been working so far, so I have no complaints about it.”
