Rickey Shane Page

On April 7, 2018, Page made his first appearance for Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) at Joey Janela's Spring Break 2 on WrestleMania weekend. He took part in the Clusterfuck Battle Royal, and was eliminated by Ethan Page, in a match eventually won by The Invisible Man.[3] He returned a year later, as a heel, on September 22, 2019 at the Nick Gage Invitational. He blindsided Gage and then stole his championship belt before spray-painting his initials onto it (in the manner of what the New World Order did to the Big Gold Belt), and walking out of the building. Page then began unofficially defending the belt in other promotions around the world, which Gage cannot do because of his conviction.[4] In October, Page returned to the United States to work a Horror Slam event that Gage was also booked for. He was ambushed by Gage and his allies, leaving his bag behind, which did not contain the stolen belt.[5] On October 31, at Jimmy Lloyd's Halloween Fright Fest, Atticus Cogar aligned himself with Page, and after Gage's match with Ruckus, distracted him so Page could attack him from behind with a chair and then a broken off door. Gage caught up with Page and his 44.OH stablemates in an Uber, and kidnapped Cogar and Gregory Iron.[6] On December 8, at Long. Live. GCW., Page appeared at the show and goaded Gage into an anytime, anywhere title shot. In the main event, Gage's almost two year long reign ended when he was defeated by AJ Gray, following interference from Cogar and Iron. In the aftermath of the match, Page used his title shot on an exhausted Gray, squashing him to win the GCW World Championship.[7][8]

In January 2020, Page started wrestling non-title matches as GCW began to hold events across the country, and introduced the chokebreaker as his finisher, usually used by Gage, to further taunt his rival. This began on January 11, at I Can't Feel My Face, when Page faced veteran "Spyder" Nate Webb. Towards the end, Page suplexed Webb through a door and hit him with a super chokebreaker to win the match. He attempted to continue attacking Webb, and Gage appeared to brawl with him and 44.OH, until Killer Kross jumped Gage, beginning their match.[9] On January 18, at Take A Picture, Page defeated Mance Warner. 44.OH began to beat down on Warner after the match, while Page set up a glass pane between two chairs. Gage made the save, but Page quickly left the ring, and allowed Iron to face off with Gage, to which Gage put him through the glass pane.[10] In the days prior to Just Being Honest, Effy answered Page's open challenge. At the event, Page hit a chokebreaker for a near fall, which Effy kicked out of and then flipped him off, so Page hit him with several chokebreakers to win the match. After Gage's match against Matthew Justice, Page jumped him from behind mid promo, while he was thanking the crowd following the death of his brother, Justice Pain. Page immediately bailed when the rest of the wrestlers on the card came out to make the save, and Gage challenged Page to an anything goes deathmatch for the title in Atlantic City, New Jersey.[11] On February 15, at Run Rickey Run, Page faced Gage in his first official defence of the title since winning it two months previously. In a match that saw constant interference from 44.OH, two referee bumps, co-owner Brett Lauderdale acting as referee and then refusing to count a pinfall, and Eric Ryan defecting to join 44.OH, Page finally defeated Gage with a chokebreaker through a stack of light tubes. After the match, the crowd pelted Page and 44.OH with garbage while they celebrated in the ring.[12]
