AEW Star Ricky Starks pays tribute to Cody Rhodes

During his tenure in AEW, The American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes helped establish many stars like MJF and Malakai Black. Rhodes became the first-ever TNT Champion after defeating Lance Archer in the finals of the TNT Championship tournament at Double or Nothing 2020.

The American Nightmare started issuing open challenges during his TNT Championship title reign to prove that he's a fighting champion. Ricky Starks made his All Elite Wrestling debut in 2020 by answering Rhode's challenge. Three years have passed, and Starks has managed to become a top name in the Jacksonville-based promotion.

Starks recently took to Twitter to talk about his debut and paid tribute to Rhodes.

​

​

"Wow. The mixed emotions I’ve been going through lately& then to remember where I was 3 years ago is a good perspective. I wouldn’t change anything about that night. I see everyone’s support everyday and I can’t thank you enough for it. Definitely can’t thank CR (Cody Rhodes) enough either," tweeted Starks.
