Ricky Starks is making headlines again, and this time, its for being spotted backstage at AEW Full Gear mere hours after delivering a fiery promo at GCWs Dream On event, where he criticized his current status with All Elite Wrestling.
Starks, who hasnt been seen on AEW programming since April, made a surprise appearance at the GCW event earlier in the day, cutting a blistering promo about his absence and addressing his future. One thing about me, passion runs through my blood, and I will be damned if I sit at home and get frozen out, Starks declared. Ill be damned if I sit at home and let my career dwindle. I am 34 years old, I am healthy, I am god damn good looking, and most importantly I am a generational superstar!
The promo sparked a buzz among fans, with many speculating that the former AEW World Tag Team Champion was ready to move on from the company. However, later in the evening, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select reported that Starks was seen backstage at AEW Full Gear, further fueling intrigue about his relationship with AEW. Ricky Starks was backstage at the event, Sapp confirmed, leaving fans wondering whether his appearance signifies a potential return to AEW programming.
While Starks hasnt wrestled for AEW in six months, his reemergence at GCW and his presence at Full Gear suggest that the charismatic star could be planning a major movewhether to reignite his AEW career or shock the wrestling world with a new direction.
