Ricky Saints Wouldn’t Change Anything About NXT Run So Far, Compares NXT Locker Room With Other Places

Ricky Saints’ NXT run has had some ups and downs thus far, but he says he wouldn’t change anything about it. The WWE NXT star made his debut just a little over a year ago after jumping over from AEW. During that run, Saints has had runs with both the NXT Championship and NXT North American Championship. He’s also made some enemies, most notably of late Joe Hendry, who he failed to beat at NXT Vengeance Day for the NXT Title.

Saints spoke with the Battleground Podcast and was asked in the conversation what he would change if he could. He explained why he wouldn’t change anything and also spoke about the NXT locker room compared to AEW and NWA. You can see highlights below:

On If He Would Change Anything About His NXT Run So Far:

“No, no. There’s nothing that I would change honestly, I think only because what would be the point, right? What would be the point in that? If anything, if I had to give you an answer — and I’ll pull it out of my wazoo here — there were some questionable outfits that I shouldn’t have worn.”

On the NXT Locker Room Compared To Other Companies:

“Well, I think there is an opportunity for people who may not know a lot about wrestling, there’s an opportunity for them to kind of sit around the learning tree so to speak, and further their their knowledge by just being around. By listening to stories and things like that. So it’s really cool to see that type of spirit, that type of like, ‘Oh, I’m curious.’ There’s a inquisitive nature that some people have in the locker room.

“But I mean, beyond that it’s kind of what you would expect out of the locker room. It’s the same when I was at NWA. There were people there who were experience-wise just starting or just two years in. And they wanted to learn more, and so they made sure their hands were in a lot of different pots. The same thing when I was at the other company. So you know, you’ll find that everywhere. And I love that part about it of all the locker rooms.”
