WWE inked a deal with Jade Cargill, and that was a big surprise for Tony Khan. He expected her to take AEW’s deal, because they offered her more than she asked for to stay. That decision was obviously not about the money, but who else could be on their way to WWE eventually from the Land of All Elite.
Several months ago, Dave Meltzer said on Wrestling Observer Radio that, “There are AEW contracts that are coming due at the end of the year. Several of them. Many of them, and WWE obviously will be pursuing all of them, or all the ones that are key ones that they could get.”
It’s unclear when Ricky Starks’ AEW contract is up, but he very well could have options when that time comes. Not only is he someone that WWE could turn into a huge star, but he is also close friends with Ricky Starks.
BWE was asked behind their private X account about the chances that Ricky Starks ends up in WWE. At this point, it is looking likely.
“I’d give it a 75% chance unless something happens.”
Only time will tell if Tony Khan offers Ricky Starks a contract that he can’t pass up to stick around AEW. Unless something big happens, odds are Absolute Ricky Starks will make his way to WWE once he is able to.
Ricky Starks is a very popular wrestler for AEW, and he has a ton of potential. Only time will tell if he is eventually the next one to leave Tony Khan for WWE, but the odds seem to be in WWE’s favor.
WWE has a lot of talented performers, but would they make good use of Ricky Starks? Let us know what you think in the comments section!
