WWE Reveals Special Referee for NXT Title No Mercy Match

As a seasoned gamer who’s been through the rollercoaster of WWE storylines since its Attitude Era days, tonight’s NXT episode was nothing short of a nostalgic blast from the past! The concert by TNA star Joe Hendry, dedicated to the enigmatic NXT Champion Ethan Page, had me reminiscing about the good old days when Stone Cold Steve Austin would serenade his rivals with a beer in hand.


Tonight’s episode of NXT ended with an extraordinary concert by TNA star Joe Hendry, who dedicated the entire performance to NXT Champion Ethan Page. Instead of just singing a song, Hendry showcased a variety of images and videos of Page on screen while poking fun at him. He jabbed at Page’s toy collection, shared videos of him in costume, and more. The crowd joined in as Hendry sang the chorus, which prompted Page to appear and halt the concert. However, NXT General Manager Ava Raine intervened and announced that due to his recent actions, Hendry’s match at No Mercy would have a unique referee – none other than Trick Williams, one of Page’s biggest adversaries.

Ethan Sucks, Believe in Joe

Hendry captivated the crowd with a song to close out NXT, singing, “Ethan is the Champ, and I’m afraid to say, I don’t want to show you, how he stays in shape.” Hendry continued, singing, “There’s costumes in his bedroom, there are figures on the shelf, but he gets most excited when he’s playing with himself.” As the crowd laughed, Hendry sang, “And now Joe wins the title, because we’ve had enough, Ethan likes to work out dressing up.”

That led to the simple but quite effective chorus, and it didn’t take long for Hendry to have the fans singing along. Hendry sang, “Ethan sucks, believe in Joe, Ethan put on some clothes. Ethan sucks, believe in Joe, Ethan put on some clothes,” and the crowd took it from there. Ethan came out and crashed the concert. The crowd started chanting the chorus to Page, who wasn’t pleased and got more angry as the crowd kept singing along. They got louder as he started chewing out Hendry. Page then said he knew what was best for the company and the people, which was to keep Hendry away from NXT and the people.

A Special Guest

When Ava Raine stepped forward and spoke to me, she praised Hendry for having such a unique song written about him. She also mentioned that she had taken care of some details and confirmed them, hinting at a surprise during my Title defense at No Mercy. To my delight, she announced Trick Williams as the special guest referee! With a referee’s uniform on, Trick Williams made an appearance, and Hendry celebrated Page’s defeat with a standing ovation. In that moment, I felt a hint of what could transpire come Sunday.
