=Game Changer Wrestling (2018–2021)=
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.{{cite web|url=https://www.f4wonline.com/indies/joey-janelas-spring-break-2-results-joey-janela-vs-great-sasuke-255251|title=Joey Janela's Spring Break 2 results: Joey Janela vs. The Great Sasuke|work=Wrestling Observer Newsletter|first=Bryan|last=Rose|date=April 7, 2018|access-date=March 5, 2020}} 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.{{cite web|url=https://lastwordonsports.com/prowrestling/2019/09/22/come-get-your-fking-belt-convict-rickey-shane-page-steals-nick-gages-gcw-world-title/|title="Come Get Your F**king Belt, Convict!": Rickey Shane Page Steals Nick Gage's GCW World Title|work=lastwordonsports.com|first=Jamie|last=Greer|date=September 22, 2019|access-date=March 5, 2020}} 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.{{cite web|url=https://lastwordonsports.com/prowrestling/2019/10/20/nick-gage-encounters-rsp-at-horror-slam-in-detroit-after-gcw-title-theft/|title=Nick Gage Encounters RSP at Horror Slam in Detroit After GCW Title Theft|work=lastwordonsports.com|first=Jamie|last=Greer|date=October 20, 2019|access-date=March 5, 2020}} 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.{{cite web|url=https://lastwordonsports.com/prowrestling/2019/11/07/nick-gage-vs-rickey-shane-page-feud-takes-a-twist/|title=Nick Gage vs. Rickey Shane Page Feud Takes a Twist|work=lastwordonsports.com|first=Jamie|last=Greer|date=November 7, 2019|access-date=March 5, 2020}} 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.{{cite web|url=https://lastwordonsports.com/prowrestling/2019/12/10/andnew-aj-gray-rickey-shane-page-win-gcw-world-championship/|title=#AndNEW: AJ Gray, Rickey Shane Page Win GCW World Championship|work=lastwordonsports.com|first=leon|last=noel|date=December 10, 2019|access-date=March 5, 2020}}{{cite web|url=https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/nick-gage-s-722-day-gcw-title-reign-ended-aj-graywho-quickly-lost-gold-rickey-shane-page|title=Nick Gage's 722-Day GCW Title Reign Ended By AJ Gray, Who Quickly Lost The Gold To Rickey Shane Page|work=fightful.com|first=Robert|last=DeFelice|date=December 8, 2019|access-date=March 5, 2020}}
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.{{cite web|url=https://vulturehound.co.uk/2020/01/gcw-i-cant-feel-my-face-review/|title=GCW "I Can't Feel My Face" Review|work=vulturehound.com|first=John|last=Dinsdale|date=January 15, 2020|access-date=March 5, 2020}} 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.{{cite web|url=https://vulturehound.co.uk/2020/01/gcws-take-a-picture-results-and-review/|title=GCW's "Take a Picture" Results And Review|work=vulturehound.com|first=John|last=Dinsdale|date=January 19, 2020|access-date=March 5, 2020}} 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.{{cite web|url=https://www.pwtorch.com/site/2020/01/25/radicans-1-24-gcw-just-being-honest-ppv-report-grey-vs-bey-are-vs-christian-warner-vs-deepen-gage-vs-justice/|title=RADICAN'S 1/24 GCW "Just Being Honest" PPV Report: Grey vs. Bey, Are vs. Christian, Warner vs. Deepen, Gage vs. Justice|work=Pro Wrestling Torch|first=Sean|last=Radican|date=January 25, 2020|access-date=March 5, 2020}} 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.{{cite web|url=http://fightboothpw.com/gcw-run-rickey-run-2-15-20-results-review/|title=GCW 'Run Rickey Run' (2.15.20) Results & Review|work=fightboothpw.com|first=Matthew|last=McMillian|date=February 22, 2020|access-date=March 5, 2020}}
From late March to mid May, Page did not wrestle for GCW due to lockdowns arising from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, but he returned to the promotion on June 20, at The Wrld On GCW Part 2, held in Indianapolis, Indiana. He teamed with Cogar, defeating The Second Gear Crew (Mance Warner and Matthew Justice).{{cite web|url=https://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=255342|title=GCW The Wrld On GCW Part 2|work=cagematch.net|first=Philip|last=Kreikenbohm|access-date=April 20, 2021}} On July 25, at Homecoming Part 1, after Page had defeated Homicide, SHLAK came out to brawl with the members of 44.OH who had earlier interfered in his match, before being hit with a lariat from Page. Gage came out from the back and told Page that he would put his career on the line for a title shot. In response, Page told Gage that if any of his crew pinned a member of 44.OH, he would get a anytime, anywhere title shot.{{cite web|url=https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/results/gcw-homecoming-night-one-0725-results-nick-gage-rickey-shane-page-aj-gray-ach-more-return-ac|title=GCW Homecoming Night One (07/25) Results: Nick Gage, Rickey Shane Page, AJ Gray, ACH & More Return To AC|work=fightful.com|first=Robert|last=DeFelice|date=July 25, 2020|access-date=April 20, 2021}} The following day, at Homecoming Part 2, Team MDK defeated 44.OH, and despite Gage suffering from an achilles injury (having wrestled for Beyond that afternoon), he was able to pin Ryan to win the title shot.{{cite web|url=https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/results/gcw-homecoming-night-two-0726-results-nick-gage-earns-title-shot-while-injured-rush-says-bye|title=GCW Homecoming Night Two (07/26) Results: Nick Gage Earns A Title Shot While Injured, Rush Says Bye?|work=fightful.com|first=Robert|last=DeFelice|date=July 26, 2020|access-date=April 20, 2021}} On August 28, Page participated in his first Tournament of Survival. After defeating Jimmy Lloyd and fellow stablemate Ryan, Page faced Alex Colon in the final, who had won the tournament the year before. Colon overcame recurring interference from 44.OH, and won the match by hitting a Spanish Fly off the top rope and through a light tube tower of which Page was underneath.{{cite web|url=https://411mania.com/wrestling/gcw-tournament-of-survival-5-8-22-20-results/|title=GCW Tournament Of Survival 5 8.22.20 Results|work=411Mania.com|first=Jeremy|last=Thomas|date=August 23, 2020|access-date=April 20, 2021}} In the autumn, Page continued wrestling non-title matches like he did at the start of the year, where he defeated Justice and Blake Christian,{{cite web|url=https://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=284283|title=GCW Bring Em Out|work=cagematch.net|first=Philip|last=Kreikenbohm|access-date=April 20, 2021}}{{cite web|url=https://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=288893|title=GCW The Last Resort|work=cagematch.net|first=Philip|last=Kreikenbohm|access-date=April 20, 2021}} but lost to Orange Cassidy in an upset.{{cite web|url=https://www.f4wonline.com/indies/joey-janelas-spring-break-4-live-results-joey-janela-vs-ricky-morton-322306|title=JOEY JANELA'S SPRING BREAK 4 LIVE RESULTS: JOEY JANELA VS.
