Page versus Williams at Battleground.
The arrival of Ethan Page to WWE NXT saw him immediately go after the reigning NXT Champion Trick Williams. Going into the 6/4 program, it was stressed that Page has not signed a contract and was still a free agent.
He presented what he needed from General Manager Ava to sign a deal, but she was not willing to meet his demands.
During their public contract signing segment, Page said he could have sat at home for the next two years and collected a check, but he wanted to go after an opportunity.
Trick urged Ava to give Ethan whatever he wanted so they can make a match between them happen and one of Page’s perks is that he gets a shot at the NXT Championship at Battleground on June 9th.
The match was made official and with the addition, here’s the updated Battleground lineup:
- NXT Women’s North American Championship — Ladder Match: Sol Ruca vs. Lash Legend vs. Fallon Henley vs. Jaida Parker vs. Michin vs. Kelani Jordan
- NXT North American Championship — Triple Threat Match: Oba Femi (c) vs. Wes Lee vs. Joe Coffey
- NXT Underground Match: Shayna Baszler vs. Lola Vice
- NXT Women’s Championship: Roxanne Perez (c) vs. Jordynne Grace
- NXT Tag Team Championships: Nathan Frazer & Axiom (c) vs. The O.C. (Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows)
