Ricky Saints Explains Difference Between WWE & AEW Behind The Scenes

WWE

Ricky Starks, now Ricky Saints, has explained the difference between the behind the scenes environment in WWE and AEW.

On the February 11 edition of WWE NXT, former AEW star Ricky Starks made his debut in the company with a promo from the crowd. Then on the February 18 episode, the former AEW World Tag Team Champion signed his contract with NXT and revealed his new name to be Ricky Saints.

Speaking with Bully Ray on Busted Open After Dark, Ricky Saints was asked about the locker room and behind the scenes environment differing between WWE and AEW. He answered:

“I think above anything, tenure is going to be above a newer company and there are kinks that need to be worked out on any type of start-up.”

“So what I’m seeing is a place that already has developed a system — to be placed in a system is way different than being in the process of developing a system,”

“So what I’m seeing is a lot of, you’ve got a point A, you’ve got a point B, you’ve got a point C, you’ve got a point D — there’s always a contact for this, this is how this is connected to this one … it’s like an insane moving assembly line, where things are crossing over but it all fits so perfectly.”

Saints went on to mention that he believes NXT seems like a “well oiled machine” right now.
