Ricky Starks, a charismatic presence in AEW known for his charisma and in-ring prowess, has been notably absent from recent broadcasts, sparking curiosity among fans and insiders. His absence has left many speculating about his future within the company and the reasons behind his reduced visibility.
According to a report by Ibou from WrestlePurists, Ricky Starks has requested his release from AEW, but the request was denied by AEW President Tony Khan. The report sheds light on the underlying tensions between Starks and the company, with insiders noting, “At the end of the day, things happened to where he’s on the outs with AEW right now. It is what it is. There’s a lot of things, most of it will never be reported. But ultimately there’s a falling out there and it is what it is. He’s asked for a release, Tony won’t give it to him, and he’s just going to wait the rest of his deal. He’s going to stay relevant by working indy dates and good for him, I’m happy for him. That’s just gonna be the situation in the meantime.”
This statement paints a picture of strained relations, suggesting a significant disconnect between Starks and AEW that led to his request for release. With his contractual obligations still in effect, Starks is reportedly planning to maintain his relevance on the wrestling scene by participating in independent dates, allowing him to remain active and engaged with his fan base.
As Ricky Starks navigates this challenging period in his career, speculation abounds regarding his next steps. Will he eventually find common ground with AEW, or is a move to another major wrestling promotion on the horizon once his contract expires? His journey through independent circuits might provide him with fresh opportunities and creative freedom, offering a platform to refine his skills and strengthen his influence in the wrestling world.
Fans and insiders alike will be watching Starks closely, eager to see how this situation resolves and what the future holds for this talented wrestler. While the path forward remains uncertain, Ricky Starks’ dedication to his craft and willingness to adapt suggest that his story in professional wrestling is far from over.
