Ethan Page almost missed his opportunity to sign with WWE

While speaking to Chris Van Vliet, NXT North American champion Ethan Page commented on his signing with WWE…

“[It came together] Very quickly, within like a week or two. I just ended up getting a phone call. This story might already be out there, but I was in between events. I was flying from Winnipeg. I had to go to Detroit and then drive from Detroit to Ohio for Revolver wrestling. And in between my connections, WWE called and offered me a job. And I did not think the call was real. The first call happened, they hung up, and I was like, Yep, that was a crank call. Then the second call came, and I was like, ‘Whoa, whoa, wait, this is real?!’ And they’re like, ‘Yes, we would like to offer you a contract.’ I was like, very nice.”

Page also discussed his biggest moments with WWE thus far…

“The obvious one would be to be on screen with The Rock, but having Undertaker backstage very often because they’re filming the LFG stuff, and he’s just constantly there, that is sometimes the most surreal. Mostly just because, I mean, I’m just having a conversation with a wrestler of that status and the amount of, I mean, just for him to compliment me at all is a pinch me moment. I won’t get too much into it. But yeah, I’ve had a couple with him, and those have all blown me away.” (quotes courtesy of ChrisVanVliet.com)
