A Turning Point

Page’s frustration reached a peak when a young wrestler, Je’Von Evans, attempted to inspire him. “Coming to the realization that I was willing to walk away from everything, and then having this 20-year-old kid give me life advice? I hadn’t smiled in weeks. But when I broke his jaw? That’s the biggest smile I’ve had,” Page confessed during the interview.

A New Perspective

While Page hinted at stepping away from wrestling, he now claims that his loss and subsequent struggles have made him more dangerous than ever. “I no longer care about my trajectory in wrestling,” he stated, suggesting that his new mindset could redefine his future in the ring.
