Ethan Page didn’t just lose his title match at the AAA Titan War—referee Tyrantes caused a stir on Twitter after pulling a steel wrench from Page’s trunk during the live broadcast and then continuing the match.
In the AAA Latin American Championship bout on December 20, Page seemingly snatched the belt from El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. in true “All Ego” style. Near the end, he flipped Wagner’s mask and struck him in the chest with a wrench, pinned him, and appeared to have won the championship.
But here’s the catch: everyone watching witnessed what happened next. Instead of ignoring it, referee Tyrantes walked over, reached into Page’s trunk, and took out a wrench himself—live on camera. No replays needed; it all unfolded during the broadcast for the world to see.
Tyrantes then overturned the decision and restarted the match, allowing Wagner to rally and overpower Page, ultimately retaining his title. While it was poetic justice for Wagner, it was a bitter pill for Page to swallow.
Furious about the outcome and the referee’s actions, Page shared a screenshot of Tyrantes retrieving the wrench and tweeted, “Yes, I will sue @luchalibreaaa.”
While Page did indeed use a wrench and the referee rightfully reversed it, the real controversy lies in Tyrantes pulling the weapon from Page’s own gear live on air, revealing it himself, and proceeding to restart the match as if nothing unusual had happened.
Is Ethan Page genuinely planning legal action, or is he just upset that his cheating attempt was caught and nullified? Let us know your thoughts on what might be the wildest refereeing incident of the year in the comments below.
