Current Champion Addresses Adjusting To Differences After AEW To WWE Move

WWE

A former AEW star has addressed his experience joining WWE, answering whether there were any major differences he needed to get used to.

Ricky Saints joined WWE in February, the same month his AEW departure was confirmed by the company.

During an interview with The Five Count, Saints was asked whether he experienced any level of culture shock from the differences between the two companies.

Noting that he has been able to adapt to the changes he was faced with, Saints said:

“Someone else asked me this question not too long ago and I had to really think about it.

“Yes, there’s some differences for sure, but I don’t think I really let it sink in of it being so vastly different to me.

“There’s some things I had to get used to when it came to new people that I didn’t know, or how things may be ran on show day, things of that nature, but nothing crazy, nothing that was too shocking to me.

“I think at this point I have been around long enough to kind of be able to mold into whatever situation, thankfully.”
