Ricky Saints to challenge for North American title on next WWE NXT

Posted: Mar 26th 2025 By: Ethan Renner

The NXT North American Championship will be on the line on next week’s WWE NXT.

Ricky Saints will have his highest-profile match to date in NXT on the Tuesday, April 1 episode as he challenges Shawn Spears for the North American Championship.

The match between Spears and Saints has been built for several weeks, including a sit-down segment on this Tuesday’s show. In the promo, Spears told Saints that if he couldn’t cut it in WWE, he also couldn’t go back to “the other place” because he had burned his bridge there, a reference to Saints leaving AEW for WWE.

The Women’s title picture will also be addressed on next week’s WWE NXT, as the brand’s GM Ava deciding which wrestlers will get the next shots at Stephanie Vaquer’s NXT Women’s and NXT Women’s North American titles. Vaquer defended both titles on this week’s episode, beating Jaida Parker in an NXT Women’s title defense in the opener, then retaining over Fallon Henley in the main event North American title tilt.

The lineup for the Tuesday, April 1 WWE NXT:

NXT North American Champion Shawn Spears defends against Ricky Saints
