Ethan Page Recalls Breaking Je’Von Evans’ Jaw In NXT, Taking Out Ricky Saints With a Chair

Ethan Page was particularly vicious to Je’Von Evans and Ricky Saints in their NXT feuds, something he recently looked back at. The former NXT Champion and North American Champion had storylines where he broke Evans’ jaw with a chair and brutalized Saints with chair shots.

Page reflected on those moments during his appearance on Insight With Chris Van Vliet. You can see highlights below:

On Breaking Evans Jaw In NXT:

“Hey, sometimes you just got to do what you’re told. I will say this: that whole experience gave me something that I desperately needed in NXT, which was like a very hard edge, and it gave the character something that it desperately needed for the next, I guess, whatever time that I had in NXT, and that whole moment it was pivotal for Ethan Page.”

On Using a Chair On Ricky Saints:

“Yeah, so it could have been worse. He almost lost his eye. So he ends up injuring his trachea the way the chair fell. Give him a twisted grin, and I’m trying to pull his throat down in between the legs of the chair, so as I’m yanking him down, if you see the footage and you watch the leg closest to the camera, it literally grazes his cheek, and you see his cheek after there’s a mark, it’s purple, maybe like an inch to a half an inch, he would have lost his eye. I don’t know why I’m smiling, but yeah, also that night I became North American Champion, and Mattel enjoyed that so much that they commemorated the moment by giving myself and Ricky Saints a two-pack with the North American Championship from that match available now. Go grab it!”
