Ricky Starks, aka Ricky Saints, and CM Punk are living their best lives in WWE after briefly working together in AEW.
Starks challenged CM Punk for the Real World Championship, with Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat serving as the special outside enforcer on an August 2023 episode of Collision. Punk went over in the contest.
They were supposed to do a rematch. Punk’s firing, caused by the All In backstage altercation with Jack Perry just a week prior, changed future plans, with Starks ending up wrestling Bryan Danielson at All Out instead.
Starks makes his NXT in-ring debut tonight on NXT when he teams with Je’Von Evans vs. Ethan Page & Wes Lee. As seen below, Punk shared this photo with Saints on his Instagram Stories:
