Cody Rhodes to bring in absent AEW star during his potential feud with The Rock-led Bloodline? Looking at the chances

Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes could bring in a current AEW star for his possible feud with The Rock and The Bloodline. Rhodes had a confrontation with The Great One at the Bad Blood Premium Live Event.

The Rock made his blockbuster return at WWE Bad Blood and seemingly issued a warning to Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns. The confrontation could be a hint of a potential feud between Rhodes and The Bloodline, led by The Final Boss. To even the odds, The American Nightmare could bring in absent AEW star Ricky Starks.

The Absolute has been a friend of Rhodes since their time together in AEW. He has been absent from TV for over six months now. Starks is rumored to jump ship to WWE as soon as his current contract expires. The Stamford-based promotion is reportedly interested in signing the former FTW Champion.

If Ricky Starks inks a deal with WWE, he could combine forces with his friend and real-life mentor, Cody Rhodes. Starks could help The American Nightmare fend off The Rock and The Bloodline after what happened at the Bad Blood Premium Live Event.

Earlier this year, Rhodes expressed his desire to see Starks in WWE someday. It will be interesting to see whether the two will reunite in the Stamford-based promotion.
