Ethan Page Explains Why He’s Still Working At WWE Performance Center After Main Roster Call-Up

Ethan Page is continuing to head to the WWE Performance Center even after making his WWE Raw debut, and he recently explained why. Page made his main roster debut on Monday’s episode of Raw, picking up a win over Je’Von Evans.

Page spoke with Yahoo! Uncrowned for a new feature article, which noted that Page was back at the Performance Center every day this week so far. He explained that he’s seeking to show his dedication and help current NXT talent. You can see the highlights below:

On Continuing to Work At the WWE Performance Center:

“I’m trying to grow these roots as deep as I can. These things take many years to come to fruition, so my goal is to just kind of engrain myself in the Performance Center, in Orlando, to show my availability to the company, my dedication. I’ve got a lot of NXT superstars who I meet up with to chat about matches or just to honestly throw myself under the bus and show them something I did that I thought was terrible so they can avoid it.

“Ultimately, yes, I am sure I’ll end up being a coach or doing something. I don’t want to speak out of turn because I don’t control any of the decisions, but I would readily make myself available for it. I obsess over wrestling and I love this. I am a busybody — I think I’ll go insane if I’m not working. The second I’m done physically wrestling, I will be knocking on Shawn Michaels’ door or whoever is running NXT to say, ‘OK, I’m ready, what do you need?’”

On Trying to Help Other Talent:

“My wife was giggling with me. A buddy of mine who wrestles with me and I’ve been traveling with a lot got a message that they might be giving him a chance to try out for WWE. I got more emotional for a ‘maybe’ for my buddy than I did for the good news that I got this week. For me, it’s always if I am somewhere, I want to be able to give someone the opportunity to get there too, especially if I think they’re talented.”
