NXT has a new North American Champion.

The May 27 episode of WWE NXT was quite an episode. The whole thing also kicked off with an exciting title match.

Ricky Saints put his NXT North American Title on the line against Ethan Page this week. That was quite a match, and Page had a lot to prove as he wanted to become a champion in NXT once again.

This match got started in a hurry, and they had additional security surrounding the ring, just in case things got crazy. The two started brawling from the beginning, so there was no time for a big match feel ring introduction from Mike Rome.

Ava came down and made it clear that they must see a winner in this match. That didn’t make it a No DQ match, but the referee had discretion in a big way.

The match went through a commercial break, and the two ended up fighting over the announce table. The referee told them to get in the ring, but then Ethan Page landed an RKO on a steel chair at ringside to collapse Ricky’s throat.

Although Ethan Page had the advantage, Ricky Saints did not back down at all. He fought back as fans rallied behind him. The two traded shots to the head and then Ricky ate a superkick, but then he reversed a move from Page into a DDT. Then Ricky rallied a bit as he fought to get the pinfall, but it didn’t work.

Ethan Page landed another shot to Ricky Saints’ throat, but Ricky kicked out. Then Page snapped the top rope to nail Ricky Saints. This was followed by Page nailing his finisher to win the match and the North American Championship.

We will have to see what Ethan Page does next. This was a hard-fought and brutal win, and now he is North American Champion when everything is said and done.
