Over the last few years a number of AEW stars have made the jump to WWE. Ethan Page officially made his debut with the NXT brand back in May, and he quickly became one of the top stars on the brand.
During his run with AEW, Ethan Page found himself feuding with The Hardys and Private Party when he was a member of The Firm. Page recently took a page out of Matt Hardy’s book earlier this month when he hit Tony D’Angelo with the Twist of Fate during a match on NXT.
Matt Hardy shared his reaction to the move on his Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast and he also revealed that he gave Ethan Page permission to use the move ahead of the match.
“He texted me that day just like out of respect like ‘Hey, I’m thinking about doing this and maybe doing the Twist in my match.’ I said ‘Yeah, of course man, go nuts. I’m totally happy with you doing it.’
Because even at the end of the day the way it works if someone uses it and they don’t beat them, then I just do it better. It works for me every time. I was cool with that and I wish nothing but the best for him.
“I’m just so proud of him. I’m so happy for him because he’s living his dream. There were so many people that doubted him at AEW. He never got that chance to fully flourish like he could.”
