Ricky Starks Says It Was Important To Accompany Cody Rhodes At The 2023 Royal Rumble

 Following the Royal Rumble Premium Live Event, photos started circulating on social media that showed Ricky Starks entering the arena along with Cody Rhodes.

The picture quickly went viral and many fans started speculating as to what this could mean for the AEW Star. Naturally, tons of fans wondered why the AEW star was there.

Ricky Starks spoke about the incident for the first time during an interview with Stephanie Chase. He said that Cody Rhodes has been there for him so many times, and he wanted to be there for him this time. Ricky also mentioned that he doesn’t care what anyone thinks of his appearance at Royal Rumble.

“It was important to him because and that’s my friend. That’s a guy who has helped me out through a neck injury. That’s a guy who has helped me out through my career even even before AEW…even before AEW when I was an extra at SmackDown, this guy talked to me gave me advice when he didn’t have to. When I was on the Indies I ran into him that that is what’s important.

I don’t give a sh*t and I want everyone who’s watching this to do this verbatim. I don’t give a shit if there’s some tribalism from the fans. I don’t care if someone from my company or over there thinks it’s a bad work. I don’t give a f*ck. That is my friend and one thing about me is I’m genuinely going to be a friend no matter what and if you ride for me, I’m gonna ride for you.”
