Although Ricky Starks isn’t currently appearing for AEW, that didn’t stop him from making a surprise appearance at Glory Pro Wrestling on October 27th. Starks took out Sean Login with a powerful spear during Sunday’s event.
Following the spot, he delivered a promo, declaring that he doesn’t pass up “the opportunity of a lifetime.” This appearance is setting up Starks for a match against Kody Lane on November 24th.
AEW Absence
Starks hasn’t appeared in AEW programming for several months, leading to speculation that he may be preparing to leave the promotion for WWE when his contract expires. Despite rumors circulating on social media suggesting Starks is already a free agent, these claims have been debunked.
Starks says he’s with AEW and under contract, but is not sure why he’s not being used.
CEO Tony Khan recently praised Starks during an All Out media call, describing him as a valued and respected talent who remains under contract with AEW.
