Pyro worth millions breaks Cody Rhodes’ record

Rhodes loves pyro, and his entrance at WrestleMania 39 proves it. Weeks before the event, he kept teasing a record-setting pyro entrance on his part, and then he delivered. During the event, he made his walk down the ramp with the pyro going off as he marched down. It was spectacular. But it may be time for him to move aside as Starks wins the crown for the most pyro, not at a main event. But why the celebratory pyro?
Guys Cody Rhodes obviously has the best and longest pyro

Starks walked to the ring on the July 22 episode of Collision after his win against CM Punk. During the Owen Hart Foundation Men’s Tournament finals match, Starks beat Punk to win the annual tournament.
This was not a clean win but a win for Starks, and something that he will tout for a long time. He even had Punk calling him out for cheating to win.
