WWE Superstar Ricky Saints (fka Ricky Starks) recently shared a surprising revelation about his relationship status.
Saints, who made his NXT debut earlier this year, quickly rose through the ranks thanks to his charisma and talent. He appeared on the latest episode of What Do You Want To Talk About? With Cody Rhodes, who asked about his relationship status. Saints made a surprising admission that he was still single.
The former WWE NXT North American Champion revealed that he had been single for some time and that had not changed since his appearance on A Shot of Brandi, three years ago. He said that the reason could be that he was very particular about choosing a partner, and when asked what was on the top of his checklist, he mentioned that his partner should be understanding.
The conversation went as follows:
[Cody]: What about the…, you single?
[Ricky]: Yeah, single always.
[Cody]: Hey, look right there, camera one, tell them what they are missing.
[Ricky]: If you all are familiar with an episode of Shot of Brandi on YouTube, where I also said that I was single, I would like to reinforce the fact three years later, I am still single, but way more particular.
[Cody]: So you got more.
[Ricky]: Yeah, I am way more, there is a lot of boxes you’ve got to check.
[Cody]: What’s the number 1 box they got to check?
[Ricky]: Number 1, that’s a hard one! Actually, it’s not. You just have to be understanding, be an understanding individual. If my girlfriend isn’t understanding, then she has to leave.”

While it may come as a surprise to many fans, it seems that Saints is happy with his decision.
