A look behind the scenes
In an interview on a channel, he asked Page, “Are you revealing those things? When you’re outside and warming up and paddling, you’re doing everything. You seemed okay with me taking him out. This is what I’m going to do.” Page responded, revealing that his walkouts and celebrations had been pre-planned and implemented. “No it’s not like a lot of what I do is already pre-planned as I already seem to know. That’s why I have a gimmick. My celebrations are already planned. They are ready. I already know why. I’ve seen it a hundred times, I’ve seen it a million times and I’ve seen it played,” Page explained.
