WWE NXT Battleground: Trick Williams Retains NXT Championship Over Ethan Page
Trick Williams has retained the NXT Championship over "All Ego" Ethan Page!
WWE NXT Battleground was a hard hitting evening with every title on the line for the premium live event, and Trick Williams just barely managed to scrape by with a win to retain the NXT Championship! Trick Williams has kicked off a new era for NXT as its champion as while he managed to win the title and retain against some faces that went on to Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown, Williams is now in uncharted waters as there are all sorts of NXT superstars waiting for their chance to take a shot at the champion. This included some brand new signees.
Ethan Page shockingly made his NXT debut a couple of weeks ago by attacking Williams by surprise, and then followed it up by shockingly getting his first title match. This tested Williams more than ever before as he had to face off against a brand new opponent who was out to throw all sorts of new tricks and aggressive moves at the NXT Champion. But even with all of that, Williams was able to get the win to retain the NXT Championship.
