WWE's Ethan Page Explains Why He Feels 'Weird' After Intercontinental Title Win

Ethan Page picked up a shocking victory on "WWE Raw" earlier this month, defeating Chad Gable for the Intercontinental Championship. Gable's struggle to finally capture the title inspired fans after his face turn following the El Grande Americano storyline, and it seems that even Page is struggling to come to terms with his win, though it's for a very different reason.

"I feel weird, mostly because this is the ultimate goal, and now that I've achieved it so early and so quickly, it's skewed ... my view of the future," Page explained during an interview on "WWE's Raw Recap." "I don't know why I thought it would be so hard to obtain this, and then it happened so fast that I feel like I should reassess my goals, which happens a lot to me in my life, and I think that's why I feel nothing."

Page reaffirmed that he'll continue to accomplish great things in WWE, and then recalled a recent interview where he expressed that he almost feels disappointed that he couldn't watch himself live as he won the title, claiming that everyone else gets the privilege of watching his career from the outside.

The champion also commented on people who aren't happy with him beating Gable for the title, asking them to focus on him now instead of the former champion. "Oh, this is real, guys!" he exclaimed. "Nobody is gonna be able to take this from me. Sorry, this happened. It's not a dream, or to some, apparently a nightmare."
