Natalya discusses training with AEW World Tag Team Champion Ricky Starks; the AEW star was seen in a video of wrestlers working at Natalya’s training facility.

Speaking with Haus of Wrestling, Natalya was asked about the somewhat controversial video she shared on social media, in which AEW’s Ricky Starks can be seen training in the facility she runs with TJ Wilson (Tyson Kidd).

“It’s not really a school. It’s a workshop,” said Natalya. “So when Ricky came out, we, listen, anybody that has passion, that, you know, like, I feel like Ricky has so much passion for the industry. I was totally honored to have him come train with us, and he’s very, very talented. And so I would, of course, love to see him, you know, doing what he loves. I know he’s very good friends with Cody Rhodes, but I think Ricky has a really great total package. He can speak, he looks great, he moves great, he’s passionate.”

Natalya also highlighted how she has worked with Liv Morgan, TNA World Heavyweight Champion Moose, and Angelo Dawkins, among others. She said that everyone who loves wrestling and is willing to work hard is welcome.

Ricky Starks and Big Bill beat Dark Order on the February 2 episode of AEW Rampage. Check our coverage here.
