Ricky Starks explained being absent from AEW

Ricky Starks recently had an interview with WhatCulture. During the interview, he was asked if he would make an appearance at the AEW Double or Nothing 2024 Pay-Per-View. The 34-year-old star replied that he did not know for sure.

"I don’t know. I would hope so. But I really don’t know. Things are... every time I always predict something to go some way, it doesn’t go that way, and it kind of just leaves me being like, well, we’ll just figure out and see. I really have no clue. It’s just a very interesting time, I feel like. I wish that I was on Dynamite, or I wish I was on Dynasty," Ricky Starks said.

The last time Starks appeared on AEW TV was on March 30, 2024. He and his tag team partner, Big Bill, took on Top Flight, consisting of Dante Martin and Darius Martin, in the quarterfinals of the AEW World Tag Team Championship Tournament in a losing effort.
