Jasper Troy and Ricky Saints are set to face off next week on “WWE NXT” as the developmental brand makes its way to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The match was set up after the winner of “WWE LFG: Legends & Future Greats” challenged Saints in a pre-recorded promo aired during Tuesday’s show.
The rivalry escalated when Troy interfered in a North American Championship match between Saints and Ethan Page at the Great American Bash. During a chaotic series of Falls Count Anywhere matches, Saints accidentally struck Troy backstage. Their conflict continued on the July 22 episode of “NXT,” where a planned ramp spot between Troy and Saints went wrong, leading to Saints being counted out. Despite the mishap, the tension between the two remains high.
In a video message released on Tuesday, Troy taunted the Saints, claiming he has been facing “saint-like people” all his life. He emphasized that his previous count-out win wasn’t enough and vowed to dismantle the Saints in the upcoming Philadelphia showdown.
Fan Take: This feud adds a fresh and intense storyline to WWE NXT, raising the stakes for both competitors. Fans should keep an eye on this rivalry as it could elevate both wrestlers’ statuses and create memorable moments in the sport.
