A top star from AEW recently made a huge appearance outside the Jacksonville-based promotion. The star has been absent from AEW TV for almost seven months.
Ricky Starks was last seen on AEW TV on the March 30, 2024, edition of Collision. His last match in the promotion was a tag team affair alongside Big Bill against Top Flight (Dante Martin and Darius Martin). Stroke Daddy also had a match against Q.T. Marshall at the BTW Welcome To Paradise event in May 2024.
The Absolute star recently made a surprise appearance at Glory Pro Wrestling's South Nightmare on Broadway show in St. Louis, MO, and Speared Sean Logan (who resembled a bit like Seth Rollins). Ricky then got on the mic and challenged an old rival, Kody Lane, to a match at Glory Pro's WrestlePocalypse on November 24.
