Where is the story/build or reason for page to get a title shot? If this were Aew …. happy for page mind you. I hope he is appreciated more in nxt. Could have been a really good part of aew. Liked the stuff he did with sky and other stuff.
As I mentioned in the NXT Hit List, they actually did explain why Page is getting the title shot. The story was brief, but there was a story. I’m with you on Page. I think he was one of those guys who just got lost in the shuffle once they started signing so many wrestlers.
