AEW star Ricky Starks recently discussed the arrival of CM Punk to All Elite and what it has meant to the locker room, staff and overall vibe of the company.

Ricky Starks made the comments during the new Throwing Down with Renee Paquette and Miesha Tate show on SiriusXM. “It’s been great,” Starks began, speaking on having Punk backstage.

“I know that he’s a hard worker and backstage, he’s very mindful of everyone and their matches and making sure he talks to them and critiques them. He’s very approachable too. Having Punk back there is a big morale boost. A big morale boost.

“He called me out. I appreciate the spotlight there, but I’m tied up with Brian Cage right now. I have to get through that before I move on top Punk and see what he’s about. If it keeps drawing attention, Punk, keep my name in your mouth. Keep it going. I welcome it.”
