AEW’s Jade Cargill’s unexpected jump sparks speculation on Ricky Starks’ next move.

The wrestling community was abuzz when WWE successfully signed Jade Cargill, leaving Tony Khan and the AEW team in disbelief. Although AEW had proposed a lucrative offer, surpassing Cargill’s expectations, her move to WWE was seemingly based on factors beyond the financial. This strategic move now casts attention on other potential AEW stars contemplating a switch.

Dave Meltzer previously highlighted on Wrestling Observer Radio about several AEW contracts nearing their expiration by year’s end. WWE, never one to miss an opportunity, is undoubtedly scouting these talents, especially those who could be game changers.

The spotlight now falls on Ricky Starks. While details regarding the end date of Starks’ AEW contract remain under wraps, the speculation is ripe about his next steps. Given Starks’ undeniable charisma and potential, WWE could mold him into the next big sensation. Further fueling the speculations is Starks’ close bond with Ricky Starks.

Using the pseudonym BWE on their private X account, an insider was quizzed about Starks’ probability of jumping ship to WWE. Their response was telling: “I’d give it a 75% chance unless something happens.”

As the wrestling landscape shifts and evolves, all eyes will be on whether Tony Khan can tempt Starks with an irresistible offer to remain loyal to AEW. But as of now, indicators hint that Absolute Ricky Starks could be WWE bound when the opportunity arises.

Starks’ charm and prowess have endeared him to AEW fans. The looming question is, will he be the next to trade alliances, favoring WWE? And if so, how will WWE capitalize on his talent? Share your thoughts below!
