Tensions explode as multiple challengers stake claim for the gold
Summary
– Ricky Saints called out Ethan Page for ruining his title celebration
– Wes Lee and Lexis King also entered the mix, each demanding a title shot
– A chaotic brawl broke out with all four contenders, forcing security to intervene
April 8’s episode of WWE NXT erupted into chaos as the North American Championship picture turned volatile. Reigning champion Ricky Saints kicked off the night by addressing Ethan Page, who interrupted his title moment one week earlier.
Saints called Page out directly, accusing him of jealousy and disrespect. “If a guy like me came in and did what you did—better and quicker—my ego would be shattered too,” Saints said, daring Page to face him man to man.
Before Page could respond, Lexis King left, declaring the title his long-overdue return to championship status. Moments later, Wes Lee entered the scene with a deeper motive. “That title represents the land of my people,” he said, calling it a form of retribution and his “birthright.”
Each man staked his claim as tensions rose, but civility quickly broke down. A full-scale brawl broke out in the ring with Saints, Lee, King, and Page trading blows. Security rushed in as NXT officials lost control of the situation.
The explosive segment made it clear—the North American Title has no shortage of challengers, and WrestleMania season chaos isn’t limited to the main roster.
