WWE NXT Champion Ethan Page was pinned again. He was furious with the official following this incident on the white and gold brand.

Since appearing in NXT, Ethan Page has been embroiled in a feud with Oro Mensah. The former AEW star attacked Noam Dar, which didn't sit well with his Meta-Four teammate.

Mensah attacked Page several times backstage to exact revenge, not giving Page a moment to breathe. Due to his antics, Oro was banned from a show, but that didn't stop or slow down his pursuit of the man who injured Noam Dar. To make matters worse, Mensah attacked All Ego last week and even pinned him in the ring. However, this wasn't official, as no referee made the count.

This still drove Page mad, so he brought a referee to the ring tonight and asked whether last week's pinfall count was legitimate. The WWE official admitted that it didn't count as the match wasn't official.

Oro then came running out to the ring and rolled Page up again. This time, the referee counted the pinfall. Ethan Page was furious with what happened on NXT.

It remains to be seen if these two pinfalls will be able to earn Oro Mensah a title shot against Page.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker.
