On this week’s edition of Monday Night Raw, rumors of a move to the main roster became reality when it was officially revealed that former NXT Champion Ethan Page is now a member of the roster. The red brand now has a performer with tons of experience, someone with a great wardrobe, and a wrestler who can work well in any style.

Now that the NXT and AEW veteran is on the WWE main roster, it’s the perfect time to take a look at some of the feuds we can’t wait to see Paige create in the coming months and years.

Ethan Page can be animated when pushed, but for the most part, he is a cool, calm, and cocky character. That’s why a showdown with “The Samoan Werewolf” Jacob Fatu would be so much fun. Fatu is such an intense and unpredictable artist that it can force some hilarious reactions off the page.

Additionally, it will be interesting to see Page work with a larger but athletic opponent. Something that he has rarely done in the last five years.

cm Punk

CM Punk won’t be around much longer, so it would be nice to see him mixing it up more often against some of the rising talent instead of the elite guys on the roster. The clash of personalities would make for some great television, and Page somehow gaining the upper hand at the end of the feud could help create a new main event player in WWE.

Jai Uso

Ethan Page is so good at being an annoyingly despicable heel that a fan favorite like Jey Uso is a natural enemy at some point. Plus, being a pain in the neck for such a beloved character would help elevate Page as one of Raw’s top bad guys. Also, the matches will be entertaining.

Don’t be surprised if you see this rivalry playing out on your TV screens by the autumn.

Page rarely encountered supernatural characters during his career. In WWE, he will eventually face many people. Some are silly, like Danhausen, and others are downright scary, like Uncle Howdy. The rivalry with Howdy could be very interesting, and Page could get far better matches against the Wyatt Six leader than other foes. This could be a win-win for both characters.

The Miz

Very rarely do heels fight each other. However, with Page looking like the next generation version of The Miz, the pair hating on each other would be no surprise, nor would future clashes in the ring. It might be even better if WWE drew obvious parallels, with Miz suggesting that Page is here to take his place or is a younger version of the future Hall of Famer.

Cherky has significantly improved his play under Pep Guardiola, despite yet to firmly establish himself as a starter under the Spaniard.

To date he has three goals and ten assists in 26 Premier League games. In all competitions, those numbers are nine goals and 13 assists in 43 games.

Dugari Unaffiliated

The latest impressive performance came against Chelsea when he grabbed two assists in a 3–0 win. Most spectators credited Cherki as the man who turned the game in City’s favor after a close first half at Stamford Bridge.

That performance received much praise in England. But in France, critics remain, and Dugarry is one of them.

“What is he different from? What is Cherky’s style? Are the others blind? Are they clowns? What is this boy different from?” He said.

“Why should we treat him differently? Is he better than Olisse, is he better than Douay? Is he better than Barcola?

“We have to stop thinking that every time he touches the ball, it’s a one-man show… He needs to be more efficient in his game. Pep Guardiola said this, and he also explained that he needs to press more, and in modern football, that is important.”

The move could see Mike Nawrocki return to Celtic Park if Hannover 96 decide not to make his stay permanent. Martin O’Neill’s side will be keeping a close eye on developments at the German club.

Despite the NBA canceling the Magic City promotion, the crowd came to life for TI’s halftime performance during the Atlanta Hawks and Orlando Magic game.

While some NBA fans were in a somber mood after the NBA decided to cancel the Magic City promotion, the ATL icon’s performance made them forget – even if only for a few minutes. TI performed his latest single, “Let ‘Em Know”, which came out in January, which got the crowd standing, dancing and rapping along to the lyrics.

The Hawks’ primary owner, Jami Gertz, has ties to the Magic City as he was the producer of a five-part documentary that honored the club’s legacy, and how it influenced hip-hop, Black culture, and the city of Atlanta.

“After the work we did to create ‘Magic City: An American Fantasy,’ this collaboration and theme night is very meaningful to me,” Gertz said when the promotion was announced. “The iconic Atlanta institution has had such an incredible impact on our city and its unique culture.”

Some NBA fans were very happy with the infamous strip club’s partnership with the Hawks as they are both prominent parts of the culture. While some fans were excited for the collaboration, which would have started with last night’s game, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver shut down the promotion.

“When we learned of the Atlanta Hawks’ scheduled promotion, we reached out to Hawks leadership to better understand their plans and reasoning,” Silver said in a statement. “While we appreciate the team’s vision and their desire to move forward, we have heard significant concerns from a wide range of league stakeholders, including fans, partners and employees. I believe canceling this promotion is the right decision for the broader NBA community.”

While some Hawks fans were disappointed, the franchise respected the NBA’s decision.

“Although we are deeply disappointed by the NBA’s decision to cancel our Magic City Night promotion, we fully respect its decision,” the Hawks said in a statement. “As a franchise, we are committed to celebrating the best of Atlanta – with authenticity – in ways that continue to unify and bring us closer together.”

On Monday evening, the Atlanta Hawks picked up their tenth consecutive win with a comfortable home win over the Orlando Magic. The game was originally named “Magic City Night”, which was supposed to be a collaboration between the team and a local adult entertainment establishment, but the NBA ultimately canceled the promotion after criticism from San Antonio Spurs big man Luke Kornet.

However, despite this, many fans in attendance showed support for the venue anyway, as described by the Associated Press.

The Associated Press reported via ESPN, “Support or not, plenty of Hawks fans were dressed the same way. Magic City gear, both official and unofficial merchandise, was a common sight throughout the crowd. Among those proudly wearing club sweatshirts was Hawks principal owner Jami Gertz, who sat near halfcourt watching Atlanta cruise to a 124-112 victory.”

Gertz has ties to the Magic City, having previously produced a documentary about the iconic nightlife establishment.

Meanwhile, on the court, the Hawks had their most impressive performance of the season on Monday, defeating an Orlando team that was on a seven-game winning streak in its own right, and extending their own run to ten consecutive wins.

The hero was Nickell Alexander-Walker, who continued his Most Improved Player of the Year campaign with 41 points on nine three pointers, while Jalen Johnson recorded his 13th triple double of the year and second consecutive.

The Hawks are now just a game and a half out of the top six in the East, which would mean missing out on the play-in tournament altogether.

Atlanta will next take the field on Wednesday evening for a road game against the Dallas Mavericks as they look to take their streak to 11. Tipoff is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET.

Hasne Kamara has had two very different spells at Watford over the last few seasons, well, two turned into one.

The left-back joined the Hornets from Nice in January 2022. He played the second half of the season in the Premier League but was then sold permanently to Udinese in the summer.

Shortly thereafter, he was loaned back to Watford before the Italian side brought him back for the 2023/24 campaign.

The 32-year-old is an important part of the Serie A team, having established himself as a regular player over the past three seasons.

The praise has now come from Pierpaolo Marino, who worked closely with the Pozzo family and Udinese from 2019 to 2023.

Marino brings Kamara from Watford

The director spoke to Udinese tonight about a number of things relating to Kosta Rungic’s side. He chose to particularly praise Kamara, who has played 16 times in Serie A this season despite injury concerns.

He highlighted its importance and praised its ability to transcend.

Marino said- relayed by All Udinese: : “When I was here, I followed Watford. Kamara makes crosses with a turn that allows the attacker to score more easily. He crosses with impeccable technique, he knows it, and that’s why he says one assist is not enough.”

He also used a reference to a quote from Diego Maradona and seemed to be indirectly comparing the left-back to the legend.

“This is also true [Lorenzo] Lucca is no longer in the box. Davis isn’t exactly an expert in heading, and neither is Zaniolo. To preach a good sermon also requires a listener.

“Maradona used to say that he crosses with the ball, when the ball comes, the attacker just has to touch it and put it into the net. Kamara has that quality to a certain extent.”

While comparisons to the late Argentinian are exaggerated, Marino has a point. Kamara has shown his excellent crossing ability, assisting four times last season.

Watford made significant gains

This is a way of justifying the signing by Marino himself, as Watford made approximately €19m from the sale.

At the time, Kamara was around 20 years old and the Hornets had spent less than €5m to sign him.

The defender has had a great career and Udinese find themselves tenth in the table. They could still return to Europe and that would be fair reward for the Ivorian’s progress.

Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion and AEW alum Jake Hager is officially returning to the world of combat sports, but not in the way many fans were expecting.

During an appearance on TMZ’s Inside the Ring podcast, the 43-year-old revealed that he has signed a six-appearance contract with Dana White’s Power Slap promotion. Hager is scheduled to make his heavyweight division debut on April 17, 2026 in Las Vegas – the Friday night of WrestleMania 42 weekend – in an event that will be broadcast live on YouTube. Hager’s transition into the controversial world of slap fighting was facilitated by a familiar face from his professional wrestling past.

Sin Bodhi, known to WWE fans as Kizarni, currently serves as the head of talent relations and recruiter for Power Slap. Bodhi, who has been vocal about his goal of bringing “monsters and villains” from the wrestling world into the promotion, targeted Hager as his top recruit for the 2026 season.

“I’m very excited to announce that I have signed with UFC Power Slap, and they are doing a show at Vegas Live on April 17th. It’s the Friday before Mania. I will be competing on that show in the heavyweight division,” Hager announced. “I’ve been told my face is pretty slappable, so I’m sure the line will be around the corner.”

Despite the ongoing medical investigation and high risk of injury surrounding slap fighting, Hager shared a lack of concern about potential injuries. The former “All-American” said he understands the inherent risks and trusts the organization to provide the necessary medical coverage. Hager also took the opportunity to officially rule out an MMA comeback, citing his age and desire to step away from the grueling training camps required by the cage.

“I mean, you know what you signed up for. You’re signing up to get slapped and try to slap somebody as hard as possible. So I expect injuries. I know the UFC does a pretty good job of covering all the expenses related to injuries. Honestly, I’m not worried about it.”

While his MMA career – in which he suffered a 3-0 no-contest loss in Bellator – is likely over, Hager hinted that a return to professional wrestling is a possibility. Since his AEW contract expires in June 2024, Hager has spent time away from the ring managing his Florida-based trucking company, “Howlin’ Oats”. However, he said that his body is feeling much better after the hiatus and he is ready to take bookings again.
