#1. Ricky Starks blasts AEW over 'mocking' tweet

'Absolute' Ricky Starks

Absolute Ricky Starks has been absent from in-ring action in AEW for nearly three months. The Team Taz member injured his neck in a match against Hangman Adam Page and has been recovering ever since. He will be making his in-ring return to face The Machine Brian Cage for the FTW Championship.

The feud between the two started off as a matter of pride, as to who's the best member of Team Taz. But it has slowly evolved into a personal grudge match after Starks brought Cage's wife in the mix with some derogatory remarks.

Starks wasn't too pleased when AEW tweeted a picture of him running away from Cage at AEW Road Rager.

"I broke my neck and y’all over there mocking me. So much bias; who’s running this account!" tweeted Starks.

This isn't the first time a Team Taz member has been less than satisfied with AEW's Twitter handle, as Brian Cage tweeted his displeasure a week back over the AEW Fyter Fest poster not featuring him despite his match against Starks being the first to be confirmed.

@starkmanjones vs cage only match announced and can't get on poster after selling out. Ricky's hone town, and Austin is the wrestling tent that I built. #wrestlecircus https://t.co/Zj0ZCIyuZO
