Ricky Saints is finally addressing the segment WWE tried to erase and hes not backing down from the reaction. After his musical promo on WWE NXT drew heavy criticism and was later quietly removed from WWEs social media Saints spoke out in a March 31, 2026 interview with the New York Post, giving his side of what went down. Instead of apologizing or distancing himself from the moment, Saints leaned into it, making it clear he wasnt overthinking the segment even revealing how last-minute parts of it really were. He also admitted that he hasnt even gone back to watch the segment a surprising move considering how much attention it received online. Saints then addressed the mixed reaction head-on, acknowledging that the segment split opinions but didnt necessarily miss the mark in his eyes. He went further, pointing out that the strong reactions both positive and negative were something new for him, especially outside of an in-ring setting. And ultimately, Saints made it clear that he sees the entire situation as subjective not a failure. Before this update, the story centered around WWE quietly pulling the musical promo from its platforms after backlash poured in, while leaving the brawl portion of the segment online. But Saints comments shift the focus away from the deletion and onto his mindset showing hes fully aware of the reaction and isnt trying to run from it. Bottom line Ricky Saints isnt backing down from the reaction. Whether the segment worked or not, hes owning it and treating it as part of the process, even as WWE quietly moved on from the moment.
