In a thrilling episode of NXT, the action reached a fever pitch as Ricky Saints emerged victorious, claiming the NXT North American Championship and simultaneously toppling Ethan Page's longstanding record for the fastest title win after debuting with the brand.

The main event was nothing short of chaotic, featuring Champion Shawn Spears and his faction, The Culling, who were determined to turn the tide in his favor. Despite their underhanded tactics, including a brutal strike to Saints' face with the championship belt, the relentless determination of Ricky Saints proved too much to overcome. The new champion showed incredible resilience, ultimately securing his place at the top despite the odds stacked against him.

His victory came just 39 days after his debut—one day faster than Ethan Page, who previously held the record by winning the NXT Championship in 40 days. Page had set that record after months of standing as a formidable competitor, but Saints’ rapid rise to prominence is a testament to the fierce competition in the NXT landscape.

However, the celebration was short-lived for Saints. In a surprising turn of events, Ethan Page rushed the ring to confront the new champion, clearly incensed by his loss. This confrontation sets the stage for an intriguing rivalry, as it is likely that Page, and possibly even Shawn Spears, will be eyeing a rematch for the title in the near future.

The impact of this sudden title change on Shawn Spears and The Culling remains uncertain. Will they regroup and come back stronger? Or will Saints continue to reign supreme unopposed? The upcoming WWE Stand & Deliver event on April 19th could very well serve as the battleground for these emerging conflicts, though official match announcements are still pending.
