Ricky Starks has not been seen on AEW television since March this year. However, he has recently confirmed his next appearance outside the company.
Ever since Ricky Starks joined AEW, he has been one of the most entertaining prospects in the promotion. He was featured heavily during the initial days of his run. However, things haven't been the same for him booking-wise in recent months.
While he did hold the AEW World Tag Team Championship earlier this year, his career took a downward turn after he lost the title. In fact, he has not appeared on AEW TV since the 30th March 2024 episode of Collision where he and Big Bill lost to Top Flight in the AEW World Tag Team Title Tournament Quarter Final.
With his contract set to expire soon, there were reports of WWE being interested in Starks, and given that he has some friends who work in the company like Jade Cargill and Cody Rhodes, there were rumors that he would join the Stamford-based promotion after his contract expires. Amidst these rumors, Starks took to social media to confirm that he will be doing a Q&A and live signing session for High Spots.
"Friendly reminder that tomorrow is the day! A big Q&A and live signing all set for @Highspots!"
