Summary

Ricky Saints addressed the mixed fan response to his March 3 concert segment on NXT, the performance he used to mock Joe Hendry before Vengeance Day.

Saints said reactions were split and acknowledged that this was a different kind of spotlight for him compared to an in-ring segment. The title picture has moved forward since their Vengeance Day encounter, and Saints is now set for a Fatal 4-Way for the NXT Championship at Stand & Deliver against Hendry, Ethan Page, and Tony D’Angelo.

Quote from Ricky Saints

"I’m a great singer. I play guitar. I learned how to play guitar that day. I don’t know if I really thought anything of it. I didn’t watch it back. I still haven’t watched it back because I really don’t watch my stuff. I think there’s a balance of something being good in an entertaining way. I think there is something to being bad in an entertaining way. I know it was pretty split. Some people loved it, some people hated it. I just never had that in my career where I was in that type of situation (for a non-wrestling segment). I think everything is going to be subjective in what you find entertaining and what kind of misses the mark."

Ricky Saints and the Stand & Deliver title build

Ricky Saints enters Stand & Deliver with more character focus around him, and that raises the pressure on how he lands in a high-profile NXT Championship match. With a contract signing also set for the March 31 NXT episode, WWE has another beat to frame the dynamic between Saints, Joe Hendry, Ethan Page, and Tony D’Angelo before the Fatal 4-Way.
