A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, and a Ricky Saints by any other name would still be 'Absolute.'
That's according to the NXT North American Champion himself.
Saints took to Twitter on Tuesday evening after attacking 'All Ego' Ethan Page during NXT. Saints got the last move on Tuesday and -- as is usually the case -- he got the last word, as well.
Well if there’s one thing that’ll I’ll always be…

"What you're sensing is a man who is fed up and frustrated with you, Ethan Page. Tonight was just a simple taste of what's gonna happen at Stand and Deliver. You know, you and I, we go way back, man. Way back, Ethan, but you have seemingly forgotten since you've been here that I am not a man that should be underestimated. In fact, I am every bit of the man that I say I am. And you, on the other hand, well you fall short in every single category of your life. And that's kind of the story of 'All Ego' Ethan Page, ain't it? I want you to understand something. Stand and deliver is a big moment for me, that I will not let anybody else get in the way of. Maybe once, twice. Yeah, you kind of did it, but I ain't gonna let it happen a third time. And here's a prediction for you: I am leaving Las Vegas, still the NXT North American champion. And you, Ethan Page will be left with, well, I guess your massive ego," Saints said.
It was determined on Tuesday's NXT that Page would be the one to take on Ricky Saints at NXT Stand and Deliver. Page defeated Wes Lee, Eddy Thorpe, and Lexis King after hitting a Twisted Grin on King.
After the match, Saints ran down to the ring and speared Page after Page cut a promo.
