“I officially hate Punk more than Trick” - WWE NXT Champion expressed his thoughts about CM Punk

In a surprising turn of events, NXT Champion Ethan Page has made it clear that his dislike for WWE Superstar CM Punk runs deeper than his feelings for current rival Trick Williams. As Page prepares to defend his NXT Championship against Williams on the October 1 episode of NXT—the show's debut on the CW Network—Punk will step into the ring as the special referee.

Recently, Punk made headlines by bringing his dog, Larry, to the September 23 Raw taping, which caught the attention of Triple H and Bianca Belair. In response to this, Page took to social media to express his thoughts, asserting that he dislikes Punk even more than he does Williams.

Here’s everything you need to know about what Ethan Page has said about CM Punk

Ethan Page has openly stated that he dislikes CM Punk even more than his current rival, Trick Williams. He expressed his thoughts about the WWE superstar on X (formerly known as Twitter).

Ethan Page reposted Triple H’s post and shared his thoughts along with it:

“The referee for the biggest match of my career is one of those …

“I’m a parent too … I have a dog”

I officially hate Punk more than Trick.”


Ethan Page won the NXT Championship on July 7 during the Heatwave special by winning a four-way match. His victory was unusual because he fell on Je’Von Evans after Trick Williams knocked them both out. Page managed to win the match when Shawn Spears stopped Williams from breaking the pin.


Let’s see how CM Punk will respond to Ethan Page’s post. We can expect some heated moments between them in the coming days, and it could be said that WWE might be setting up a new storyline for Punk. Currently, CM Punk is preparing for his highly anticipated match against his long-time rival Drew McIntyre at WWE Bad Blood 2024. It will be exciting to find out who will come out as the winner among them—CM Punk or Drew McIntyre.
