Ricky Starks Reportedly in Hot Water Backstage at AEW
Summary
– Ricky Starks has been off AEW television since March 2024, with reports of backstage friction.
– His expressed uncertainty about his role in the company has reportedly caused tension with higher-ups.
– Speculation is growing about Starks potentially moving to WWE.
Ricky Starks, a notable presence in AEW since 2020, has been conspicuously absent from television since March. His last match aired on the March 30 episode of AEW Collision, where he teamed with Big Bill in a tag team title tournament against Top Flight. Since then, Starks has kept a low profile on AEW programming, although he remains active on social media.
Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp reports indicate Starks is experiencing backstage heat within AEW. This tension is reportedly linked to his public uncertainty about his status and future in the company, which has yet to sit well with some individuals in management. Meanwhile, rumors are circulating that a WWE employee sees Starks as a good fit for their roster.
The ongoing situation has left fans wondering about Stark’s future. Will he overcome these backstage issues and return to AEW, or will he find a new path in WWE? Only time will tell.
