Ethan Page Reflects On His Defeat to Penta at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event XLIV

Ethan Page opens up about his loss to WWE Intercontinental Champion Penta at tonight’s Saturday Night’s Main Event.

All Ego pulled out all the stops to dethrone Cero Miedo in a hugely entertaining back-and-forth match at the TV special. However, his shenanigans proved to be his undoing. After failing to beat Penta fair-and-square, Page tried to use underhanded tactics. He removed a turnbuckle, but the referee caught him.

However, that was a part of his plan. As the referee got busy fixing it, Ethan Page removed another turn, smashed Penta’s head on it, and rolled him up to steal a major victory. However, Penta kicked out. Page tried to smash Penta’s head on the exposed corner, only to get his head smashed in the process. Penta then executed the Mexican Destroyer to pick up the win.

On X, Page reflected on his defeat and vowed to right the wrongs in the future. He said that the Intercontinental Championship deserves a holder who, unlike Penta, doesn’t hide his face and is willing to face “anybody and everybody for it.”

Here’s what Ethan Page said:

“Honestly, I’ve just been kind of preparing my victory speech. I don’t really think about what to complain about, who to blame, or kind of where to point my finger. I can easily throw this masked prick under the bus for stealing a move from my home country of Canada, renaming it Mexican, and then beating me with it. Na, I can definitely complain about that.

“I think the biggest complaint is that the Intercontinental Championship finally got the spotlight it deserved. Saturday Night’s Main Event, in a match with Ethan Page’s name on the marquee, exactly what the Intercontinental Championship deserves. A man that doesn’t hide his face, a man that will carry it with pride, and a man that will take it around the globe and fight anybody and everybody for it. That is what I am upset about. But that is something I can easily correct.”
