Ricky Starks and Jade Cargill have been friends for years, dating back to their days in AEW when they both signed with the company and began wrestling for the promotion. They were notable stars for AEW before moving to WWE, where their careers have flourished.
During her appearance on WWE’s Die Woche, the SmackDown star praised Starks for his hard work and his accomplishment of winning the NXT North American Title.
“I’m excited (for Ricky Starks). Seeing what he visualized. He’s a visionary and he sees what he wants, and I’m so happy for him because he puts in so much work in this industry. He puts so much work, he cares so much… Actually, I’m gonna train with him on Sunday. We train together, we always train together. We give each other ideas and we really lean on one another for advice in this industry, so I’m excited. He’s gonna take over this industry. It’s just the beginning. He’s been here for what? Two months maybe? Maybe a month? Two months? And he’s already obtained a title? It’s only gonna keep on coming and coming and coming. So much gold is gonna keep on coming and coming. I’m proud of him, I’m so proud of him, and he put his head down, and he did the work, and he’s gonna continue to do the work.”
Both stars will be in action on WrestleMania 41 weekend as Saints puts the NXT North American Title on the line in a fatal 4-way match against Ethan Page, Wes Lee, Lexis King, and Eddy Thorpe at Stand & Deliver while Cargill battles Naomi in a match at Mania.
