Ricky Saints has explained how he stayed ready during a period when fans wondered why he was not often featured on television.
During a recent appearance on the “Battleground” podcast, Saints said it could have been easy to complain, stay home, and feel like a victim. Nevertheless, he made a transparent selection not to present his frustration that much power, and as a substitute used the energy to enhance himself and prepare for his next opportunity.
Saints traveled, trained on the gym, and focused on other productive work reasonably than allowing anger to regulate him.
The previous NXT World Champion believes that the choice paid off and helped fuel his current WWE rise.
