The Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, was packed with fans for the April 24 episode of WWE SmackDown. This is an exciting time for WWE, and fans are gearing up for another former NXT Champion on the main roster.
This is the time of year when WWE is debuting lots of NXT talent on the main roster. Fans saw Fatal Influence debut this week. Blake Monroe also received a hype package. Now, Ricky Saints is coming to the blue brand, and they let us know that with a brief hype video on SmackDown this week.
It was also revealed that Ricky Saints will make his debut on SmackDown next week. It is unclear exactly what he will be doing, but the former Ricky Starks will be on the blue brand.
This is a perfect place for Ricky Saints, because Cody Rhodes is the top champion of the brand. Saints and Rhodes have a long-lasting friendship that has been well-documented. Only time will tell if they ever link up on television.
