Ethan Page, the former AEW star, made a memorable impact in WWE NXT, capturing both the NXT and North American Championships. One of his most notable achievements during his time in NXT was the introduction of a custom North American Championship, a unique title that celebrated his Canadian heritage. In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, Page reflected on this special moment, offering an intriguing insight into the process and his feelings about the custom championship.
Page revealed that the idea for the custom title was not his own but was presented to him by WWE. He described the moment as a 'fantastic idea' and was genuinely excited about the reveal, which took place before a live event. The first time Page laid eyes on the custom championship was in Houston, Texas, and the experience left a lasting impression on him.
"After the experience, it really clicked in," Page said. "Like, wait a second, I have a custom championship in the WWE specifically for me. I don't think anyone's ever going to get that belt again. It's literally hanging in my house. Don't take it, WWE, please. I have no clue how it got there. After I lost the championship, I left it at the Performance Center, but somehow, it's hanging in my house."
Page's reign as the North American Champion lasted from May 2025 to February of this year. During this time, he believes he elevated the championship and made it a more prominent and desirable title within the NXT brand. His departure from NXT and subsequent move to the main roster further emphasizes the significance of his achievements in NXT.
This custom championship holds a special place in Page's heart, and he seems to cherish the unique recognition it brought him. The idea that a championship can be tailored to an individual's background and heritage adds a layer of depth to WWE's title scene, making it a truly special moment in professional wrestling history.
