On May 19, 1996 Page participated in the Lord of the Ring Tournament (Battle Bowl) at Slamboree. The winner was to be the number one contender for the World Title which at that time was held by The Giant. Page was victorious when he defeated The Barbarian with two Diamond Cutters. However, he never received the title shot that he earned that night. Page was feuding with Eddie Guerrero when the nWo was formed. Since Nash & Hall were both former partners of Page, they assisted him in his matches in the tournament being held for the vacant US Title, but, believing their help was not appreciated, Hall and Nash attacked him during the tournament finals, therefore handing the belt to Guerrero.[citation needed] After demonstrating the benefits of the nWo, they asked him to join. He responded by giving them Diamond Cutters, starting a face turn and a feud with the nWo.[citation needed] Slamboree was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event from World Championship Wrestling held from 1993 through 2000 that was held in the month of May. ...

Around this time, Page also started fighting nWo leader, Hulk Hogan. Page and Savage battled for the last time at Halloween Havoc. The match was billed as a Las Vegas Sudden Death Match, where anything goes and the only way to win was to beat your opponent so brutally, he could not get to his feet by a count of ten. The match ended when Hogan, dressed as Sting, came out and hit Page with a baseball bat in his already "injured" mid-section, resulting in Savage picking up the win. On an episode of Nitro shortly after Halloween Havoc, Page fought Hogan, but was again beaten down by the nWo.

At Fall Brawl 1998, Page won the WarGames main event, and got a World title shot against the undefeated Goldberg at Halloween Havoc. Page did not win the match, but both men put on a tremendous show which resulted in the match being Vote WCW Magazines "Match of the Year" 1998. Halloween Havoc 1998 ran slightly longer than expected resulting in a number of cable companies blacking out the end of the Hogan v Warrior match and all of the DDP v Goldberg contest. WCW decided to air the Goldberg v DDP title bout in its entirety on the October 26th Edition of Nitro, which proved immensely popular in the ratings and resulted in a ratings win for Nitro over Raw - the last win Nitro would ever have. Despite this setback in the World title picture, Page rebounded the following night on the October 26th edition of WCW Monday Nitro with a win over Bret 'The Hitman' Hart to capture the United States Heavyweght Title.

His first reign as champion lasted only 15 days. On April 26, 1999, Page was defeated for the World Championship by Sting on WCW Monday Nitro in the first hour of the show. A little more than an hour and a half later Page was given an opportunity to regain the title thanks to a challenge match set up by the returning Kevin Nash, pitting him against Page, Goldberg, and the newly crowned champion Sting. During the course of the match, Page hit Nash with a foreign object to take the win and regain the title without actually defeating the reigning champion.

Page, Bigelow, and Kanyon became known as the Jersey Triad and through their alliance with WCW "President for Life" Ric Flair took advantage of the Freebird Rule in their subsequent matches (meaning any combination of the three could defend the championship). The Triad held the titles until June 10, 1999, when Saturn and Chris Benoit (now stablemates in Revolution) took the titles from them. The team regained the belts on WCW Thunder three days later, but would lose them to Harlem Heat at Road Wild in August.
