The February 18 edition of WWE NXT focused heavily on the contract signing of Ricky Starks. The biggest question was surrounding what his name within the WWE would be, and it has now been revealed that Starks’ name within WWE will be Ricky Saints.
Ricky Starks No More
Ricky Starks is a name that has become well-known in the world of pro wrestling in recent years. Known for his time in AEW, this is a new era for the wrestler.
At the top of the second hour of the NXT show, it was finally time for Starks’ signing. With NXT General Manager Ava in the ring with him, Starks cut a promo to once more let the people know what he is about.
As he was about to sign the contract, he was interrupted by Ethan Page, who is a fellow AEW alumni. He was quickly taken care of by Je’Von Evans.
The next person to interrupt the signing was Wes Lee, and a match between the two was made official for next week. But, before then, he needed to sign his contract.
Introducing Ricky Saints
Starks finally signed his contract, and he hit his pose. The camera then zoomed in on the contract, revealing his new name – Ricky Saints.
This is not too far off from his old name, as he could still be referred to as “Ricky” or even “Ricky S.” With a new name, Ricky Saints is set for action on February 25 against Wes Lee.
