Ricky Starks, recognized as the former FTW Champion, has recently shed light on his contract situation with AEW amid growing speculation regarding a potential switch to WWE. Starks last graced AEW television on the March 30 episode of AEW Collision, leaving fans eager for updates on his status.
In his last outing, Starks teamed up with Big Bill in a thrilling tag team title tournament match against Top Flight. Despite showcasing a commendable performance, the duo fell short against their opponents. Since that match, Starks has been noticeably absent from AEW programming. In contrast, Big Bill has remained active, recently becoming part of Chris Jericho?s faction, The Learning Tree, and consistently appearing on AEW shows, highlighting the contrast between their current trajectories.
Starks? prolonged absence from AEW has ignited rampant speculation that he may be contemplating a transition to WWE. This theory is bolstered by his close relationship with WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes. Notably, Starks was spotted backstage at the Royal Rumble a few years back, where he was seen supporting Rhodes during his highly anticipated comeback, further fueling discussions about his future in wrestling.
As Starks? absence approaches the eight-month mark, fans have begun to speculate whether his AEW contract has indeed lapsed. Recently, Starks took the opportunity to clarify his situation, confirming his ongoing commitment to Tony Khan?s promotion and dispelling the swirling rumors surrounding his status in the wrestling world.

This development has only intensified fan speculation regarding Starks? contract with AEW.
