Ethan Page was about a half-second away from pulling off an incredible upset over Penta and winning the Intercontinental Championship at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

Penta showed Page, a former NXT champion and the longest reigning NXT North American champion in the brand’s history, that he needed to do more than a few hard slams and exposed turnbuckles to beat him.

Page gave Penta all he had. He threw Penta into the exposed turnbuckle and tried to take advantage with a schoolboy roll up. While the referee tried to put one turnbuckle back together, he noticed Page’s pin attempt but only got to two. “All Ego” was upset and got into the referee’s face, allowing Penta to take advantage.

Penta avoided Page as he crashed into the ropes and bounced off the middle rope to hit a Mexican Destroyer. He pinned Page for the win.

Penta has been the champion since March 2, after he beat Dominik Mysterio on “Monday Night Raw.” The win over Page marked his seventh successful title defense, including a six-way ladder match at WrestleMania 42.

Page was impressive throughout the match. He flipped Penta over his head and onto the announce table in the middle of the match. He got back into the ring but realized that he wouldn’t be able to win the title if Penta was counted out.

He stopped the referee’s 10 count and used the ring posts to his advantage before he rolled Penta back into the ring. But the Mexican high-flyer was too much to handle.

“That’s me flirting,” says Paige after an awkward backstage moment at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event

Published

on

One-half of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, Paige, has finally shut all doubters who, upon her return at WrestleMania 42, thought she would also go for a part-time run similar to AJ Lee’s. But the Anti-Diva and Brie Bella have proved everyone wrong, as they have already completed multiple title defenses so far and have been on a full-time schedule.

Bella and Paige once again defended their titles successfully at 2026 Saturday Night’s Main Event, beating former title holders The Irresistible Forces (Lash Legend and Nia Jax).

Before their match, the Anti-Diva and Brie Mode were interviewed in their locker room by Cathy Kelley. A fan took a screenshot of Paige staring at the camera and posted it on X/Twitter, writing that the star was “mugging” for the camera. The post caught The Diva of Tomorrow’s attention, and she quoted it with a cheeky comment.

WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions tease a heel turn

While fans are happy about Paige and Brie Bella retaining their Women’s Tag Team Championship after beating Nia Jax and Lash Legend at the 2026 Saturday Night’s Main Event, experts and critics cannot unsee what the Stamford-based promotion has been teasing.

The ending sequence of the match saw Brie Bella pressing her legs against her tag team partner’s back to even put her entire weight on her, who was pinning Nia Jax, and the two retained their straps. The antics that Daniel Bryan’s wife used are generally pulled by a heel character, and as of now, two are babyface tag team champions.

However, their pinning of Jax using heel tactics could be a subtle hint by World Wrestling Entertainment, prepping fans for The Anti-Diva and Brie Mode’s heel turn in the near future. The veteran team turning bad guys would indeed be a thrilling move and a great change in the WWE women’s tag team division.

That being said, it will be interesting to see what plans Triple H and his WWE creative team have in store for the Women’s Tag Team Champions in the coming weeks.
