As a long-time wrestling enthusiast with a soft spot for AEW and its talented roster, I find myself intrigued by the latest rumors surrounding Ricky Starks. With his contract expiring soon and reports of WWE’s interest, it seems that the future of the FTW Champion is uncertain.
Over the last several days, there’s been buzz surrounding AEW star Ricky Starks due to speculation about his possible shift to WWE once his contract expires. Since 2020, Ricky Starks has made a significant impact in AEW. Lately, though, he hasn’t appeared on TV since late March of this year.
Ricky Starks, the ex-FTW Champion, last appeared on AEW TV during the March 30 episode of Collision. In that episode, he participated in a tag team title tournament, partnering with Big Bill against Top Flight in a match. Since then, there has been no sighting of him on any subsequent AEW broadcasts.
In the midst of Ricky Starks’ apparent absence from All Elite Wrestling, whispers have surfaced recently suggesting that WWE might be keen on recruiting several high-profile AEW performers, including Starks himself. It’s been hinted that there is considerable enthusiasm for AEW talents whose contracts are nearing expiration.
Since March, Starks hasn’t played a significant role in any storyline, causing fans to speculate that he might be transitioning to WWE given recent rumors of WWE’s interest. This has fueled whispers about him potentially leaving AEW when his current contract ends. However, Starks has yet to confirm or deny his future with AEW. Recently, he shared an update with fans amidst the mounting excitement.
Ricky Starks is expected to sign with WWE, once his contract with AEW is up.
