Ricky Saints To Defend NXT Title Against Former TNA World Champion
Ricky Saints will put the NXT Championship on the line.
On the October 7 edition of NXT dubbed “NXT vs TNA Showdown,” Ricky Saints teamed with Trick Williams, Myles Borne, and Je’Von Evans to face “Team TNA.” However, the Survivor Series-style main event came to an end in controversial circumstances,
With the battle in full swing, Williams, who was TNA World Champion at the time, walked out of the match, leaving Saints to fend for himself against the entire TNA squad. Unsurprisingly, Saints was subsequently defeated.
Although Williams has now lost the TNA Championship, Saints hasn’t forgotten the betrayal.
Ricky Saints Has His Back Against The Wall
Fast forward to October 14, and Saints called out Williams for leaving him high and dry. He then challenged Williams to face him at Halloween Havoc, but when his rival appeared in a video, he declined.
Later in the show, Williams attacked Saints backstage and told him that he’d be seeing him at Halloween Havoc. The pair will now come face to face at a contract signing on October 21 to make the match official.
Elsewhere at the event, Jacy Jayne will defend the NXT Women’s Championship against Tatum Paxley. The challenger became the number one contender after winning a 20-woman Battle Royal on October 14.
Matt and Jeff Hardy will also be putting their NXT Tag Team Championship on the line against Dark State.
