Ricky Saints pulled off a stunning upset in the main event of WWE NXT, defeating Shawn Spears to become the new North American Champion. From the moment the bell rang, Saints made it clear he wasn’t just there to compete—he was there to win.

Spears tried to follow up with his C4 finisher, but Saints countered with a jackhammer, then delivered his signature Ro-Sham-Bo to secure the victory. His win ended Spears’ reign and placed Saints among the fastest to ever win a title after debuting in NXT.
As Saints celebrated, Ethan Page appeared on the ramp with a cold stare, immediately shifting the energy in the Performance Center and hinting at a future showdown.
