AEW's Ricky Starks Considers This WWE Star His Best Friend

We at Real Rasslin have come to learn.


Ricky Starks and Jade Cargill are no longer co-workers, ever since Jade Cargill left AEW to sign a multi-year contract with WWE last year. Even still, the two have remained tight, with Jade Cargill and Ricky Starks continuing to train together down in Atlanta, in between their off days for their respective companies.


In an appearance on "Gabby AF," just days before Jade Cargill made her WWE debut in the Royal Rumble, Ricky Starks talked about how much he cared for the former TBS Champion, referring to her as his best friend. He also noted how hard Jade Cargill was working in preparation for her WWE run, describing them as kindred spirits in terms of drive and ambition.


"She busts her ass, she busts her ass more than anyone wants to give her credit for," Starks said. "It isn't up to her to try and disapprove these things that people say about her. And that's why I tell her. 'You won't ever change someone's opinion about you, and even then, it's not your job. It's not your job to change someone's opinion about you.'


"I'm so excited and happy for her, and how things have gone. I will never shy away from supporting my friends publicly, because I think they would do the same for me. And yeah, I think she's a great person, and she deserves everything she has because she works for it. She's made a ton of sacrifices."


Ricky Starks also praised Jade Cargill's maturation as a performer, which he's seen firsthand from their training together.


"She's so creative," Starks said. "She's very creative and her mind of how wrestling is, to see it shape and how its starting to unravel is very cool. Cause she gets it. And...in training no less. A thousand percent, [she's] always giving it a thousand percent."
