AEW star Ricky Starks went to the WWE Royal Rumble with Cody Rhodes to support his good friend this past January. It was a big night for Rhodes, who won the 30-Man Royal Rumble Match, earning the opportunity to challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title at WrestleMania Goes Hollywood.
The viral photo that got out looked to be taken from surveillance footage:

While speaking with Swerve Strickland on the Swerve City Podcast, he noted that he’s considering using the venue for allegedly leaking the photo.
“What y’all do care about is where I go in my off time and what other pay-per-views I show up at,” Starks stated. “So leave me alone, alright? You got to have real friends. Support real friends. The picture is great. It’s so good. I look so jacked like I’m about to rob a bank. The First 48, that’s what it was…..I’m in the process of maybe suing Alamodome and getting some money out of it because how crazy is that? How are you a security guard, and you go, you know what I got? Rewind the tape. Let me show you right quick. Let me show you right quick.”
Rhodes has previously stated that he shouldn’t have put Starks in the position and probably won’t invite friends to future WWE events.
