Ethan Page Beats Chad Gable to Win WWE Intercontinental Title on Raw

Ethan Page defeated Chad Gable to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship in the opening match of WWE Raw on Monday, November 2, 2026, at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The show streamed live on Netflix. The match ran 18 minutes and 20 seconds, and the title change is Page's first championship on the WWE main roster.

Page won after he kicked Gable into an exposed turnbuckle and followed with an Ego Plex for the pin. Moments earlier, Gable had reapplied the ankle lock. Gable wrestled with his neck and left shoulder taped, after Page had hit him with a move on the arena floor during the previous week's Raw tag match.

End of a 92 day reign

The loss ends Gable's first run as Intercontinental Champion after 92 days and four successful televised title defenses. Gable won the title by beating Penta at SummerSlam in Minneapolis.

Page is a former NXT Champion and NXT North American Champion. With this win he becomes the 96th wrestler in history to hold the Intercontinental Championship, and his victory was the 193rd time the title has changed hands.

WWE announced the result on its official account on X with the message: "Ethan Page is the NEW Intercontinental Champion!"

An early start before Crown Jewel

Raw started two hours earlier than usual, at 6 p.m. Eastern. The show was the last Raw before Saturday's Crown Jewel event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and it opened with a title change that reshapes the midcard picture heading into that event. Gable leaves Brooklyn without the championship he carried through the autumn, while Page starts his first main roster reign as the new champion.

The finish packed the story of the match into a short sequence. Gable, taped at the neck and left shoulder, had the ankle lock on again and looked close to a defense. Page broke the hold by sending Gable into the exposed turnbuckle, hit the Ego Plex, and took the pin and the title in one run. That single sequence ended a reign that began at SummerSlam in Minneapolis, ran for 92 days, and survived four televised defenses. It also moved two long running counts forward at once: Page is the 96th man to hold this championship, and the belt itself has now changed hands 193 times. For a first main roster title, Page won it in the first match of the night, in front of the Brooklyn crowd, on the last Raw before Crown Jewel.
