Game Changer Wrestling presented their Collective series of events this past weekend in Indianapolis The three-day event featured a number of shows which were postponed during Wrestlemania 36 week due to the ongoing health crisis.

Ahead of this weekend’s shows, IMPACT Wrestling star Ethan Page took to Twitter, upset about trading cards using his likeness available for sale during the events. He stated he wasn’t asked and did not approve of his likeness being used on the cards.

He got into a back and fourth with AEW star Joey Janela, in tweets that were later deleted.
