Ricky Saints is no stranger to buzz. Ever since his time in AEW and his breakout run as NXT North American Champion, fans have been wondering when he’d jump to the main roster. Gunther’s absence could be WWE’s chance to shake things up, and push a fresh face on RAW.
Saints has the crowd behind him, he has the charisma, and he’s ready. If WWE pulls the trigger now, they’ll have an underdog story fans can get behind. Not only would this launch Saints into a bigger spotlight, but it could also mark the start of something massive for the 35-year-old.
