Ricky Starks speaks on his upcoming Owen Hart Cup Final bout with CM Punk.
Ricky Starks and Punk will clash in the finals, despite being aligned with one another since Punk’s AEW return.
Speaking on the Big Show with Rusic & Rose on Sportsnet, Starks commented on the bout.
“There are people who look at certain figures in wrestling as, ‘Oh, this guy.’ They put them on a pedestal, basically. To me, I am shoulder-to-shoulder with CM Punk in my head. We are equals. One thing that I do want to get across to Punk and everyone else. Regardless of what has been done in someone’s career and what has been done in AEW, the fact will remain is that I am a person that can stand on my own. I can stand shoulder to shoulder with anyone and I can go toe-to-toe with any single person, microphone or in the ring, and I feel I’ve proven that with MJF and with Chris Jericho. I don’t see this being any different with Punk,”

Punk would defeat Satoshi Kojima and Samoa Joe to reach the finals, while Starks defeated Juice Robinson and Powerhouse Hobbs in order to make it to the final matchup of the tournament.
We will have to wait and see who will the tournament this Saturday on Collision.
