In a recent backstage interview, Michael Cole had a rather terse moment with Ethan Page. Later on RAW Recap, Page brought up his conversation with Cole and claimed that he was insulted by the veteran.

“Took me over, I don’t know, 20 years to get to “Monday Night RAW” about, oh, you know what, 19, 20 years. This is very important to me. I’m not doing this in my early twenties that I can, you know, flub up or get arrested or fired. No, I’m 36 years old. This is it. Intercontinental Championship, and then off to the races, like every great before me. I was insulted by Michael Cole. I understand. I get it.”

Ethan Page already has plans after his WWE in-ring career is over

According to Ethan Page, he will be helping NXT talent and the performance center after his in-ring career is done.

Speaking in an interview on Yahoo Sports, Page explained his plans.

“I’m trying to grow these roots as deep as I can. These things take many years to come to fruition, so my goal is to just kind of engrain myself in the Performance Center, in Orlando, to show my availability to the company, my dedication. I’ve got a lot of NXT superstars who I meet up with to chat about matches or just to honestly throw myself under the bus and show them something I did that I thought was terrible so they can avoid it,” he said.

He further added:

“I think I’ll go insane if I’m not working. The second I’m done physically wrestling, I will be knocking on Shawn Michaels’ door or whoever is running NXT to say, ‘OK, I’m ready, what do you need?’”, Page added.

It remains to be seen if Ethan Page can take down Penta at WWE SNME.
