The two former AEW stars could cross paths once again in WWE.
Ricky Saints has made no secret of his friendship with Cody Rhodes, with the NXT Champion often supporting Rhodes at WWE events while still under contract with AEW.
Appearing on Busted Open Radio, Saints was asked about the possibility of facing Cody in WWE one day. The former Ricky Starks said he loves the idea and believes there would be plenty of story potential between the two.
“I could see that being a great matchup, too. I think the last time we wrestled was my debut for AEW. There was a tag match after that, but singles-wise, that was it. I feel like there’s so much to it because when you add a real life friendship to things — and you actually have evidence of history of how things have gone — l feel like the story is within itself. And I’m sure within time we’ll get to that point, but it’s always funny to hear that that’s one of people’s dream matches, which, hey, I’m with it, 1000%.”

For now, Saints will have his sights set on defending his NXT Championship in two weeks against Trick Williams in a Last Man Standing match.
Elsewhere during the interview, Saints opened up on his experience of working with Shawn Michaels in NXT. You can read more about that here.
As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on a possible match between Ricky Saints and Cody Rhodes as soon as we hear more.
