Ricky Saints addresses negative reaction to his “concert” segment on WWE NXT

As seen during the March 3rd 2026 episode of WWE NXT, Ricky Saints performed a “concert” to mock NXT World Champion Joe Hendry. The segment received criticism from fans, with one person agreeing with Adam Copeland’s 2023 remarks about Saints being a “vanilla midget rip-off of The Rock.”

While speaking to NYPost.com, Saints addressed the negative reaction…

“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.”
