Jayc Jayne’s NXT Women’s title win was not the only title change on NXT yesterday as Ethan Page also became the new NXT North American champion after he beat Ricky Saints in the opening match of the show.
The two former AEW stars had a huge brawl to open the show and Page nearly took out Saints after he dropped him throat first on a steel chair. Saints’ throat injury played out for the rest of the match and while he put in a valiant effort, Page finished him with the Twisted Grin finisher.
This is Page’s first run with the NXT North American title, having previously won the NXT title. Saints won the title on the April 1 episode of the show from Shawn Spears, with his reign lasting 55 days.
