Ethan Page is the new NXT Champion.
Page pinned Je’Von Evans in a fatal four-way match that took place in the main event of NXT Heatwave. The finish of the match had champion Trick Williams strike Je’Von Evans with the trick shot, then followed it up with another trick shot to Ethan Page, who fell on top of Evans. Shawn Spears dragged Williams out of the ring as the referee counted to three, giving Page the win.
This ends Trick Williams’ run with the NXT Championship. He held it for 75 days, defeating Ilja Dragunov for the title on the first night of NXT Spring Breakin’ on April 23.
The main event of Heatwave was originally set to be Williams defending the title against Evans, who won a battle royal. However, Page defeated Evans in a singles match on the sme night after he successfully argued to NXT GM Ava that since Oro Mensah distracted him, he was never eliminated in the battle royal that Evans won. After Williams was pinned by Spears on the following episode of NXT, Ava made the decision to turn the Heatwave main event into a four-way.
