Ricky Saints vs. Ethan Page title match booked for next WWE NXT
A Stand & Deliver rematch for the North American Championship has been booked for the Tuesday, May 27 edition of WWE NXT.
Ricky Saints is set to defend the NXT North American title against Ethan Page on next week’s episode. The match was made official during this Tuesday’s show.
Page unsuccessfully challenged Saints for the title at the WrestleMania 41 weekend Stand & Deliver PLE on Saturday, April 19, but has continued to target Saints on NXT programming in the subsequent weeks. That continued on this week’s episode as Page attacked Saints at ringside while he was on commentary.
Later in Tuesday’s show, the match was made official in the office of NXT GM Ava as Saints and Page engaged in a shouting match.
Next week’s WWE NXT will also feature the fallout from Sunday’s Battleground PLE.
Next Tuesday’s episode will air from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando. It was originally slated for Tampa, Florida as part of four consecutive nights of WWE events, but the show was moved to Orlando. The Yuengling Center in Tampa will still host Saturday Night’s Main Event, NXT Battleground on Sunday, and WWE Raw on Monday.
