Ricky Saints wins North American title on WWE NXT

Ricky Saints is already a champion in NXT.

Saints defeated Shawn Spears in the main event of Tuesday’s show to win the championship for the first time. The finish had both male members of the Culling (Brooks Jensen and Niko Vance) attempt to interfere. Starks took out both on the outside then re-entered the ring to hit Spears with a spear. Saints then connected with the roshambo to win the championship.

After the match, Starks was celebrating his win in the ring when Ethan Page jumped him from behind. The show concluded with Page standing tall over Saints, holding the championship that Saints had just won.

Page and Saints have been crossing paths ever since Saints signed his NXT contract back in February, shortly after receiving his release from AEW. The two faced off in a tag match, with Saints and Je’Von Evans defeating Page and Wes Lee.

Spears only held the title for 28 days, defeating Tony D’Angelo on the March 4 edition of NXT.
