Ethan Page successfully defended his NXT Championship in a match filled with drama and unexpected turns at “WWE NXT” No Mercy. The title match featured Joe Hendry as the challenger and Trick Williams, a former NXT Champion, as the special guest referee, adding an extra layer of complexity to the bout.
The intense main event saw both Page and Hendry coming close to victory multiple times, with tensions rising between Page and Williams throughout the match. Hendry appeared to secure a win when he pinned Page for a three-count, but Williams noticed Page’s foot under the rope, stopping the count. This decision infuriated Hendry, leading to a confrontation with Williams that allowed Page to capitalize and make a comeback. Despite several near-falls and the intervention of a second referee, Page managed to execute a DDT on the NXT title belt and seemingly secure the win until Williams interfered again.
In a surprising turn of events, Page resorted to underhanded tactics, delivering a low blow to Hendry while Williams removed the title belt. Page then finished the match with his signature move, Ego’s Edge, and Williams reluctantly made the final count. As Page celebrated, Pete Dunne made a dramatic appearance to attack Williams, setting the stage for their upcoming match on “WWE NXT” on Tuesday. This match teaser added an exciting element to the ongoing storyline.
