As seen during the February 18th 2025 edition of WWE NXT, Ricky Starks officially signed his contract with the brand as Ricky Saints. While speaking to Busted Open Radio, Saints addressed the change…

“It’s as close as you’re going to get to Starks. I like the name. I know a lot of people are going to be…it’s going to take time for them to get used to it. I respect that they care so deeply about me that they rebel against the name change. But at the same time, I am a product of New Orleans, first and foremost, and I want to pay respect to that as well.

I think this is the best of both worlds and that means a lot to me. Obviously I think it’s cool to have a piece of home with me. And the person doesn’t change. I’m still that guy, so it is what it is.” (quote courtesy of F4WOnline.com)
