Summary

Ethan Page says his match with El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. at NXT Halloween Havoc stands as his favorite bout since arriving in WWE.

The match took place in October 2025 and was contested for the NXT North American Championship under a Day of the Dead theme. While speaking in a new interview, Page said the presentation made it an unusual experience for him, right down to the half-face paint, and that the match remains the one he would pick above the rest of his WWE run so far.

Quote from Ethan Page

Speaking with Complex Graps, Page said:

"If I was to pick one match, I would go with my match with the son of Dr. Wagner Jr at NXT Halloween Havoc. It was like a Day Of The Dead match. Painted half of my face, very unusual for me. For me to suggest that is very bizarre but I just feel like that match is my favorite match that I’ve had since coming to the WWE."

What it says about Ethan Page's WWE run

Page singling out that Halloween Havoc match gives extra weight to a performance that already stood out to a lot of NXT viewers, and it helps frame that title bout as a key piece of his WWE identity. It also comes at an interesting moment, because Page is heading into another major spotlight match against Penta later this month after their Intercontinental Championship bout was made official for Saturday Night's Main Event.
