Ricky Saints: At WrestleMania 40, I Remember Telling Myself That It Would Be The Last Time I Was On That Side Of The Glass

Ricky Saints had a goal in mind at WrestleMania 40.

Before signing with the company earlier this year, Saints was criticized for attending multiple WWE events throughout his time with AEW. Saints has often defended himself on the topic, saying that he was in attendance to support his good friend Cody Rhodes.

While appearing on the most recent episode of the No Contest Wrestling Podcast with TJ Jefferson and O'Shea Jackson Jr, Saints was asked about his first WrestleMania weekend as a performer for the company.

“I feel great. I’m here, my first Mania weekend where I’m actually allowed to be here in public and not get in trouble.”

Saints went on and recalled telling himself that WrestleMania 40 would be his last time "on that side of the glass".

“That wasn’t my first Mania, I’ve been to a few of them but that was great because I saw a good friend of mine finally win the big one. It was a great weekend, but I do remember saying to myself that that would be the last time that I was on that side of the glass panel so to speak, that would be the last time that I was in a suite. Look at me now.”
