Overview
- Ethan Page defeated Chad Gable to win the Intercontinental Championship on Monday, Nov. 2, 2026, with the match ending after Page kicked Gable into an exposed turnbuckle and finished with his Ego Plex to pin him.
- This is Page’s first singles title on WWE’s main roster and follows a run that included NXT title gold and the NXT North American Championship.
- WWE built the match around a neck and shoulder injury Gable was selling after last week’s attack, and that injury angle directly fed into the exposed-turnbuckle finish.
- Reports differ on the exact length and defenses of Gable’s reign, which outlets put at roughly 92–93 days with four to five televised defenses before he lost the belt.
- Observers placed Page as roughly the 96th individual Intercontinental champion and the 193rd title change since 1979, a stat that commentators said underscores the company’s decision to elevate Page and sets up new challengers on Raw.
