Ricky Starks Signs Contract On WWE NXT, Reveals New Name

Ricky Starks has signed his WWE NXT contract, revealing his new name in the process. Starks appeared in a segment on tonight’s show with Ava and cut a short promo before he went to sign, only to be interrupted by Ethan Page.

Page said that Starks (without using his name) was genius for following the Ethan Page playbook but said there’s only one Ethan Page. Je’Von Evans then appeared and beat Page into the stands. When Starks went to sign the contract again, Wes Lee came out and said he wanted the first match with the still-unnamed Starks. Lee said that was fine and went to sign, only to beat Lee to the literal punch and knock him out of the ring. He then signed the contract, which had his official WWE ring name of Ricky Saints.
