Ethan Page just picked up the biggest win of his WWE main-roster career.
On the November 2 episode of WWE Raw, Page defeated Chad Gable to become the new Intercontinental Champion, ending Gable’s reign after 93 days.
Gable had held the championship since SummerSlam and entered Raw looking to make another successful defense. Instead, Page found the opening he needed late in the match.
The finish came after Gable was sent into an exposed turnbuckle. Page immediately took advantage, hitting the Ego’s Edge and scoring the three-count to walk out of Raw with the Intercontinental Championship.
For Page, this is his first singles championship since his run as NXT North American Champion and his first singles title since officially moving to WWE’s main roster.
And this feels like a pretty important moment for him.
Ethan Page has always been someone who can talk, get heat, and carry himself like he belongs near the top of the card. Now WWE is giving him the opportunity to prove that on Raw with one of the company’s most historic championships.
The Intercontinental Championship has traditionally been the title that can turn an upper-midcard wrestler into something much bigger. That makes what WWE does with Page from here especially interesting.
Does this become a short heel championship run designed to eventually put over another babyface? Or is WWE using this title to start pushing Page toward an even bigger spot on Raw?
There is also the Chad Gable side of this story.
Gable finally captured the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam after years of fans wanting to see him receive a meaningful singles title run. He made five successful defenses before losing the championship to Page.
That raises the obvious question: did WWE end Gable’s reign too soon?
Three months is not necessarily a bad title run, but it did feel like Gable still had more left to do as champion. He had finally reached a position where he could consistently be featured as one of Raw’s top workhorses.
Now his direction becomes just as interesting as Page’s.
Losing the championship could send Gable back into the Intercontinental title picture, or WWE could use this as an opportunity to move him into something completely different.
As for Ethan Page, the pressure starts now.
Winning the championship was the first step. The bigger test is whether he can make this reign feel important and prove that putting the title on “All Ego” was the right move.
And honestly, Page might be exactly the kind of heel this championship needs right now.
He is confident, irritating, comfortable on the microphone, and he knows how to make fans want to see somebody shut him up.
The question is whether WWE can turn that into a memorable Intercontinental Championship run.
Did WWE make the right call putting the title on Ethan Page, or should Chad Gable have remained champion longer?
