Starks will become an official member of the NXT roster as he signs his WWE contract. Shortly after his departure from AEW was confirmed, he arrived on NXT last Tuesday.

Ricky Saints, has officially joined WWE NXT after leaving AEW. He immediately clashed with top stars, leading to a tag match next week. WWE rebranded him due to name rights issues.

When news broke that Ricky Starks was now Ricky Saints as a member of the WWE Universe, it created genuine questions about his fit in NXT. Why would the promotion give him such an, um, unusual moniker and then push him like a legitimate star?

The revolution is off to a great start in NXT. Ricky Saints emerged from his debut match victorious, and had a lot to say after it was all said and done.
