Ricky Saints won his first NXT gold in his first opportunity
at a title, defeating NXT North American champion Shawn
Spears in the main event of last night’s NXT on CW.
A lot of interference played in the finale of the match,
with Brooks Jensen and Niko Vance both trying their best to
help Spears retain. But Saints hit a spear on both of them
to take them out, then another spear to Spears in the ring
before hitting his Roshambo finisher for the three-count.
His celebration was short-lived though as fellow former AEW
star Ethan Page attacked him from behind. The show faded to
black with Page standing tall holding the NXT North American
title above Saints.
This win ends Spears’ reign which only lasted 28 days. He
defeated Tony D’Angelo a month ago.
