Ricky Saints Joins WWE Amid Roster Refresh

Ricky Saints, formerly known as Ricky Starks in AEW, discussed on Cody Rhodes' podcast how a pivotal phone call from Triple H led to his WWE signing, with Saints ultimately joining NXT rather than the main roster to further develop his skills. Saints quickly became popular in NXT, winning the North American Championship before dropping it to Ethan Page, and he is set for a rematch at the Great American Bash. WWE, under Triple H's leadership, is expanding its programming with new events and a Netflix series featuring stars like John Cena and Rhea Ripley. The company recently said goodbye to veteran commentator Scott Stanford after 15 years. WWE's roster continues to evolve with the addition of former AEW talent like Saints. These developments reflect WWE's strategy to refresh its talent pool and content offerings.
