20-year-old WWE star seemingly injured in dangerous attack; concerned personnel forced to intervene after heinous attack

After a series of disappointing weeks, Ethan Page addressed his situation during the latest episode of WWE NXT. In an emotional promo, he reflected on his recent losses, admitting that he didn’t feel the same passion for wrestling anymore and declaring that he had lost his smile.

Je’Von Evans then interrupted the former champion, challenging his perspective. Evans reminded Page that he came to WWE NXT with all his ego but claimed that this persona wasn’t the real Ethan Page. He recounted how he saw Page celebrating with his family backstage after winning the WWE NXT Championship.

Evans encouraged Page to shed the "All-Ego" persona and embrace his true self: the “Girl Dad” and the “Proud Husband” Ethan Page. The Young OG even said that he was proud of him. However, Page’s response shocked everyone. He thanked Evans but ominously stated that instead of worrying about losing his smile, he’d take Evans' instead.

Page suddenly struck Evans with the microphone, following up with vicious grounded punches. He then escalated the assault by trapping Evans’ neck in a steel chair and stomping on it, effectively pillmanizing him.

The 20-year-old coughed up blood as medical personnel rushed to the ring to assist him. As Page walked away with a sinister smile, he shouted, "This is the real me."

It remains to be seen how serious Je’Von Evans' injuries are following the brutal attack.
