AEW star fires a warning at MJF, potentially teases feud
AEW star Ricky Starks has sent a warning to MJF via Twitter after the latter shared a tweet about New Orleans.
MJF is one of the most hated villains in All Elite Wrestling. He has feuded with multiple top stars, including Darby Allin and CM Punk. Meanwhile, Ricky Starks is the current FTW Champion and part of Team Taz.
The Salt of the Earth is frequently seen taking shots at several wrestling personalities. However, this time, he shared a tweet claiming that New Orleans was a mistake.
"New Orleans was a mistake."
New Orleans was a mistake.
Ricky Starks did not take this kindly. The New Orleans-origin star has previously shown his affinity for his hometown audience. He fired back at MJF with a not-so-subtle warning, potentially marking the start of a feud in the near future.
"Tread lightly" wrote Starks.
