Ethan Page is the NXT North American champion and he’s been leaning pretty heavily into the fact that he’s from Canada and damn proud of it. He’s decided to take that one step further, holding a celebration on this week’s episode of NXT TV that turned into the unveiling of a new design for the North American championship.
It is distinctly Canadian now:

He proceeded to
run down America by claiming literally everything in Canada is better. The guy to show up to dispute his word and challenge him to a match for that fresh new title?
TNA’s Santino Marella.

Marella has been doing his thing in TNA as an authority figure but he slid right back into the role of comedy wrestler for WWE here. He got a great reaction from the fans in Houston and they quickly set up a title match between the two next week.
Should be fun, right?
