"Triple H sign him to WWE please", "[He's] innocent" - Fans lose it as AEW suspends 33-year-old star

Triple H Ricky Starks AEW
Popular AEW star got suspended

Top AEW star just got suspended for 30 days for a despicable act he committed last week, and fans are in disbelief as he will not be wrestling for next few weeks.

Last week on AEW Collision, Ricky Starks sqaured off against CM Punk for the "Real" World championship. WWE Hall of Famer, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat was the guest outside referee. The match had all the drama as expected and fans witnessed some great wrestling as well.

At the end of the match, Punk managed to retain the title with a little assist from his old pal, Steamboat doing his duty as the outside referee. Nonetheless, the moment after the match caught fans by surprise. Following the main event, Starks being a sore loser, attacked Steamboat from behind while taking down Punk in the process as well.

The Absolute also assaulted the legend with his own belt in the middle of the ring. This week on Collision, fans were awaiting the aftermath of what happened last week. The show opened with Tony Schiavone calling out Ricky Starks and informing him that he has been suspended for the next 30 days.
