WWE has announced a North American Championship Match for next week’s episode of NXT, where Shawn Spears will defend his title against Ricky Saints. This marks Saints’ first title shot in NXT.
The match was set after Spears interrupted an interview with Saints, criticizing his arrogance and past actions.
Later, Saints joined commentary for Ethan Page’s match against Andre Chase, where he clashed with Page, only to be blindsided by a belt shot from Spears. This match is the first to be confirmed for the upcoming episode, airing Tuesday night on The CW and Netflix internationally.
