Ricky Saints: I Overcame A Lot To Make It To WWE NXT

On the February 25, edition of WWE NXT, Ricky Saints made his in-ring debut by teaming with Je’Von Evans to defeat Wes Lee and Ethan Page. Speaking in an NXT Digital Exclusive, Saints reflected on his journey to the NXT roster.

“Wild, absolutely wild. My story isn’t that not-told, as they say. It’s pretty well known at this point, and I think I overcame a lot of things just to make it in this moment.”

Saints shared that in his past two appearances for WWE NXT, he didn’t know what to expect, but that things felt “different” once he was in the ring. Saints added that his tag-team victory felt like a fever dream “that I don’t want to ever wake up from.”

An emotional Saints then looked back at signing with WWE NXT and declaring that he plans on winning titles and headline every NXT PLE. After a succesful in-ring debut, Saints is confident that he’s on the right track.

“If this wasn’t a start, I don’t know what was. I am very honored to be here standing with you, I’m very honored to be standing in front of this camera, in front of NXT.”

Saints’ in-ring debut was a “love letter” to those who have supported him, as well as a tease of the “future Ricky” fans can expect. With bold plans in the mind of the former AEW talent, Ricky Saints remains confident that he will be the next top star of WWE’s silver brand.
