Cody Rhodes Addresses AEW Star Spotted Backstage At The Royal Rumble

Cody Rhodes had been out of action since June of 2022, but The American Nightmare made his big return during the Royal Rumble last month and he managed to secure a title shot at WrestleMania when he won the 30 man Royal Rumble match. Cody also received some support from current AEW star Ricky Starks who was spotted backstage at the event.

During a recent interview with Alex McCarthy of Daily Mail, Cody talked about Ricky Starks being at the event and he noted that sometimes there are crossovers between the locker rooms.

“What an idiot, though! The locker rooms do have crossovers; people are married to people in other locker rooms, people are friends. This is a kid I started on his journey at my former home, and I obviously want to follow and see his journey – but I will say it’s probably best none of my friends visit me at the shows anymore!”

“We don’t need security cam footage of that poor dude. I hope he didn’t get into any trouble – and I don’t think he did. He was there to support a friend, who had been absolutely down and out with the pec injury. Ricky was one of the guys that nursed me through it, and helped remind me of who I can be. So I was happy to have him there, and I had some other friends there, but the other friends stayed on the bus because they’re not crazy yayhoos!”

Cody Rhodes is currently set to challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 39 in April. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
