Top WWE NXT star “All Ego” Ethan Page spoke with Sports Illustrated on a number of topics, including squaring off with top WWE star “The Best In The World” CM Punk on the mic.
Page said, “I look at CM Punk and the first thing I want to do is put a microphone in his hand. I look at Ethan Page, the next thing I want to do is put a microphone in his hand and I just want to see them talk. The fact that I got to do that, I think maybe WWE has the same thought process of, look, we’re gonna let this guy talk, we’re gonna let this guy talk, we’ll see what happens.”
On wanting to work with Punk again:
“To me, it’s like these two characters, Ethan Page and CM Punk, I would love to see more and what they’re able to do with each other and accomplish with each other. But, October 1, that’s not really the case, one is a referee and the other is defending their championship in the main event. So, if CM Punk wants to go to Chicago and try to make everything about himself like he usually does, I’ll happily let him because the more eyes watching on October 1 on The CW network, the better off I’ll be. The more eyes on Ethan Page means the more attention that I can steal away from CM Punk trying to get his glory back in his hometown probably for the 30th time now.”
