The fallout from the March 3, 2026, episode of WWE NXT is still being felt. Ricky Saints’ “Absolute Experience” concert segment has now become something people are making fun of on TV. After its poor reception, WWE removed the clip from social media. Now, it is again mocked on the March 17, 2026, episode of NXT, adding more heat to Saints’ rivalry with Joe Hendry.
The segment originally aired before Vengeance Day. Ricky Saints tried to parody Hendry with a song called “I Believe in Ricky,” which was a dig at Hendry’s entrance theme. It ended with Hendry disguising himself as a roadie and smashing a guitar over Saints.
The segment was also met with poorly reception backstage. Even though both wrestlers bounced back by the time of their Vengeance Day match, the segment had already hurt Saints’ image a bit.
Joe Hendry Takes Aim at Ricky Saints’ Recent Concert on NXT
Now, on this week’s episode of NXT, the topic came up again. Saints appeared confident and brushed off the criticism while talking about his new partnership with Ethan Page. They celebrated their recent tag win over Hendry and Myles Borne and even joked about team names like “Slump Busters” and “Bounce-Back Boyz.”
Things changed when Hendry came out and started mocking Saints. He took direct shots, saying, “You couldn’t beat me, you couldn’t play guitar, and you certainly couldn’t sing,” referencing the failed concert segment and bringing real fan criticism into the storyline.
Saints, in return, gave a funny reply, saying, “Hey, I tried my hardest, alright.” Page also stood by Saints, saying, “Hey, it was his first time. Give the man a break.”
Joe Hendry also accused Saints of relying on Page and questioned his drive to win championships. The tension grew as Saints and Page teased some issues between them, but they eventually teamed up to attack Hendry. Even against two opponents, Hendry fought back with strong moves and held his ground for a moment.
Then, Tony D’Angelo suddenly ran in and took out all three men, ending the segment in chaos.
