Adam Pearce Officially Confirms Ex-AEW Star’s Arrival On WWE RAW
The post–WrestleMania 42 edition of WWE RAW from Las Vegas featured major matches, returns, and surprising main roster debuts.
The latest episode of WWE RAW saw the return of The Street Profits and former NXT North American Champion, Ethan Page, making his main roster debut.
RAW General Manager Adam Pearce was backstage with Penta and Je’Von Evans when Ethan Page interrupted the segment. Page wasted no time and immediately targeted Penta’s Intercontinental Championship and invoked his history with Evans, who had competed in the IC ladder match just 24 hours earlier at WrestleMania.
Pearce booked Page vs. Evans on the spot, and the former AEW star won the match with the Twisted Grin, with Rusev getting involved post-match by attacking Evans and locking in the Accolade. Page then shoved Penta off the top rope as the champion came out to make the save.
Ethan Page officially called up to WWE RAW from NXT
On the April 20 edition of the red brand, the night after WrestleMania 42, WWE confirmed the next chapter. RAW General Manager Adam Pearce introduced Ethan Page as “RAW’s newest superstar.” The GM took to his X account and reposted WWE’s announcement, writing:
It is official. Welcome to the Flagship, @OfficialEGO!

Ethan Page spent three years in AEW from 2021 to 2024, feuding with names like Darby Allin and Chris Jericho. After his exit, he made a surprise WWE debut on the May 28, 2024, episode of NXT by attacking then-NXT Champion Trick Williams, revealing himself as the man behind weeks of mystery attacks on the roster.
In just his fourth match on the brand, Page won the NXT Championship at Heatwave, beginning what he called the “Era of Ego.” He held the NXT Championship for 86 days and had a record-setting 273-day NXT North American Championship run, the longest in that title’s history.
His NXT exit came on April 14, 2026, when he lost an NXT Championship match to Tony D’Angelo, a result that now reads as a clear send-off rather than a setback.
It will be interesting to see what’s next for the 36-year-old star on RAW.
