This former NXT wants to head-to-head with John Cena.
Starting January 6th, 2025, during Raw’s Netflix debut, veteran John Cena will begin his retirement tour. With a run spanning over two decades, Cena has immortalized himself as a legend.
Set to compete in his final Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, and WrestleMania next year, former NXT Champion Ethan Page has expressed his interest in facing The Leader of Cenation. In a recent interview with Zack Heydorn of Sports Illustrated, Page shared:
John Cena, he can get some too. He’s on a little bit of a time crunch, so that would be nice. Royal Rumble. Put that on the bucket list, WrestleMania, you said it. Let’s definitely do one of those. Then there’s this show happening in Toronto. I think it’s called Elimination Chamber. Six guys gotta be in that match. I don’t know. You could pick five, make me one of them.”

However, before sharing his desire to face Cena, Ethan Page opened up on his possible plans for the promotion’s main roster.

In the same interview with Zack Heydorn of Sports Illustrated, the former champion laid out his plans for a possible main roster run. Hoping to wrestle several big names and compete in some respectable matches, Page claimed:
I mean, it looks like whatever is going to put the most amount of money in my pocket. I’m 35. I gotta stack that cash up quick. I got two kids, a hot Colombian wife. I’m just trying to make sure everyone’s happy and taken care of. For that to happen, I probably gotta brush shoulders with guys like (CM) Punk, who screwed me.
So if he needs a special guest referee, I’m pretty special. I’d love to return the favor. Me and Cody (Rhodes) have history. I mean, it’s personal history, even if I’m the only one that saw it, still needs something to me. I’d live to get in there with him. Randy’s (Orton) one of my favorite wrestlers growing up, but I’m grown now, so I’d love to handle that.”
After a devastating loss at Deadline, Ethan Page has admitted he doesn’t know how to get back to the NXT Championship.
