For those wondering if Ricky Starks might be considering making the jump from AEW to WWE, there has been no indication that he plans to leave AEW. It seems like he was there to support his good friend on his special night.

Cody Rhodes returned to the Royal Rumble as the number 30 entrant and he went on to win the men’s Royal Rumble match. By doing so, he has now guaranteed himself a spot in the main event of WrestleMania.

It looks like Starks has a big role to play in AEW and it doesn’t seem plausible that he could leave all that and move to WWE. However, it wouldn’t be surprising if WWE offer him a contract given his skills. Stay tuned to Ringside News as we bring you similar stories.
