Ricky Saints, two other wrestlers set for WWE NXT title ladder match
The first two participants in the upcoming NXT Championship ladder match are set.
Sean Legacy and Shiloh Hill both won matches on Tuesday’s show to advance to the ladder match that will determine the next NXT Champion on February 3. Shiloh Hill defeated Josh Briggs to advance, while Sean Legacy defeated Eli Knight in what was both men’s first match as a NXT-contracted wrestler.
During both qualifying matches, Tony D’Angelo came out and wreaked havoc, laying out everyone involved without saying a word. After he laid out Legacy and Knight, Ava came out with police who proceeded to arrest D’Angelo. He refused to say anything as he was taken away.
It was also announced that Ricky Saints will also be in the match, as since he was the final champion before Oba Femi, he automatically gets into the match.
The NXT Championship became vacant earlier this month when Oba Femi left it in the ring following a successful title defense against Leon Slater at New Year’s Evil. The following week, Ava announced the ladder match for next month.
