Ricky Saints challenges Shawn Spears for the North American Title​

NXT’s newest Superstar Ricky Saints has his first championship opportunity as he’ll challenge Shawn Spears for the North American Championship.

Since arriving in NXT, Saints has crossed paths with the leader of The Culling several times, drawing the ire of the champion and his group.

Can Saints capture gold this early in his career, or will Spears continue to dominate?

Trick Williams calls out NXT Champion Oba Femi​

Trick Williams has called out NXT Champion Oba Femi for a showdown live on NXT.

Will The Ruler of NXT agree to meet Williams in the ring?​

Dang thought others would be watching or just watched NXT.

Stephanie has relinquished the N.A belt due to wanting to her wanting the rest of the woman's locker to have more opportunities, which was nice.

She also said the women's championship opponent she gets to pick for stand and deliver for relinquishing N.A belt. Jordynne and Jaida interrupted her . Grace is very awkward on the mic if I'm being totally honest. A brawl insuided between both ladies which was broke up by security Jordynne threw one of the guards over the top rope.

Think Trick is turning heel as he called out Big Oba. We're also getting a tournament to see who will be challenging for the NA belt in a ladder match at stand and deliver, which looks fun.

I get that they wanted to protect Stephanie and not have her lose the belt but I think that her relinquishing the North American championship makes the title look weak.

Those Darkstate guys do a better powerbomb than the Shield

Wish Ricky the best but chanting Tony fumbled seems a bit much. Should've chanted Let's go Ricky or just Ricky Saints

That's right . But here's hoping Absolute has a fantastic run as the man has so much to offer the wrestling business as he's great on the mic and really good in the ring. Just seen how he does in nxt this year and I bet he's world champion sooner rather than later.

Respectfully I think he's just ok in the ring. Mic, dude can be a solid upper mid card

 

[Y2Jayne]

Yeah I never found Ricky amazing in the ring, he's just pretty good. His spear can be as bad as Jey Uso's at times.
