Starks and CM Punk’s heated exchange sparks a thrilling tag match showdown

Ricky Starks, the newly crowned Owen Hart Foundation Champion, found himself in the midst of controversy and a heated exchange with former AEW World Champion, CM Punk. The tension between the two wrestling titans escalated, leading to an unexpected tag match showdown.

Starks, basking in the glory of his recent victory, dismissed the controversy surrounding his championship win. “What does it matter? 20 years from now they’re going to ask me how many, not how I did it,” Starks proclaimed, holding his newly won belt. He further emphasized his individuality, stating, “I am me. I am absolute. I don’t want to be no damn pillar. I stand on my own.”

CM Punk, however, challenged Starks’ victory, questioning whether Starks could live with the win knowing he had to cheat to achieve it. Punk, not one to back down, proposed a tantalizing offer, “You want a shot at what’s in the bag, Ricky?”

The verbal sparring continued, with Starks questioning Punk’s integrity, “What kind of man carries around a championship he didn’t win?” Before the tension could escalate further, Christian Cage and Luchasaurus entered the scene, leading to an impromptu tag match announcement.

Tony Khan, the AEW President, confirmed the match, setting the stage for a thrilling showdown between Ricky Starks and Christian Cage against the team of Darby Allen and CM Punk. The wrestling world now eagerly awaits this clash of titans, promising an unforgettable night of AEW action.
