Ethan Page Retains NXT North American Title Over Mustafa Ali at NXT x TNA Showdown

The defense ended Ali's long-awaited bid tied to an owed shot from before his 2023 release.

Overview

Page defeated Ali on October 7 to keep the championship in their first singles meeting in nearly a decade.
The finish came after Ali's foot became tangled in ringside cables, enabling Page to shove him from the top rope and land a Twisted Grin for the pin.
Ali returned seeking restitution for a one-on-one opportunity he earned before his 2023 exit and said fans wanted him to break a perceived North American title curse.
In a pre-match message, Page dismissed Ali's chances, declared himself the greatest North American Champion, and told Ali to focus on TNA.
Post-match, Lexis King and El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. showed interest in Page’s title, though no challenge was made official.
