In a post on Twitter/X, NXT shared a clip in which Page commented on his victory.

"I said it before the match. The obnoxious signing, the silly chants, they’re all done. It’s over. The Joe Hendry experience is over, and the Era of Ego continues. See, Joe, you’re like a meme. You came, you entertained, but now you get to disappear into the void. You had your chance, but I need you to listen to me. More important, I need my fans, the NXT Universe, my universe, to listen. You can believe all you want. Joe Hendry took you down a very dangerous path, the path of hope. Joe, you just hurt all of your fans because you made them believe in something that wasn’t possible. You made them believe that you were gonna take my championship. You made them believe that the Era of Ego was gonna end on September 1, 2024. Guess what? You and your beliefs are just a chapter in the epic series known as ‘All Ego’ Ethan Page, and we’re not even halfway through. The Era of Ego continues," Page said.

Shawn Michaels told Joe Hendry to call him when he wanted another chance. Check out his comments here.
