Rumours around Ricky Saints moving to the main roster have swirled ever since the former Ricky Starks made his WWE debut in February 2025, and those rumours have emerged once again in the aftermath of WrestleMania 42.

According to BodySlam, WWE have held discussions about potentially calling up Ricky Saints to either Monday Night Raw or Friday Night SmackDown. This doesn't necessarily mean a call-up will happen, however, as The CW, WWE NXT's TV partner in the United States, reportedly wants to keep an established veteran on NXT for the time being due to the likes of Je'Von Evans, Trick Williams, Oba Femi, Ethan Page, and Joe Hendry all moving on from NXT to Raw or SmackDown since late 2025.

Saints will be on NXT for at least one more week, as he is booked to go one-on-one with Shiloh Hill on April 28. Saints attacked Hill during night two of NXT Revenge on Tuesday night.

The likes of Sol Ruca and Ethan Page have already moved to Monday Night Raw following WrestleMania 42, while Joe Hendry will debut as a Raw wrestler with a concert on next week's Monday night show. Former WWE NXT Women's Champion Jacy Jayne, meanwhile, is reportedly being considered for a call-up to SmackDown as part of a roster refresh on WWE's blue brand.

Ricky Saints has enjoyed success since debuting on NXT and he is a former NXT North American Champion and NXT Champion.
