Ricky Saints in-ring debut, two title matches booked for next WWE NXT
Ricky Saints will make his WWE NXT in-ring debut on next week’s show, two title matches are set, plus The Hardys will be in action.
The former Ricky Starks, re-christened Ricky Saints on this week’s show, will team with Je’Von Evans against Ethan Page and Wes Lee on the Tuesday, February 25 NXT show. The match was set up with a backstage interaction between the four near the conclusion of this week’s episode.
The Hardys made a surprise appearance on Tuesday’s WWE NXT in the form of a video promo to answer a challenge from No Quarter Catch Crew’s Tavion Heights and Myles Borne. That match will take place on next week’s show as well.
TNA X-Division Champion Moose will defend his title against Lexis King on the February 25 episode in a match agreed to after Moose made his presence felt on this week’s NXT. Next week’s show will take place in Cincinnati, the city King is billed from, and where his father Brian Pillman played for the NFL’s Cincinnati Bengals.
The NXT Women’s North American Championship will also be on the line next week as Stephanie Vaquer defends against Karmen Petrovic. Petrovic won a number one contender’s match on this week’s show.
