Ricky Starks has been a standout talent in AEW since 2020, though he’s been noticeably absent from television since late March. Despite his absence, Starks has been making moves as he landed a gig with Prada recently.
On the March 30 episode of AEW Collision, Ricky Starks competed during a tag team title tournament match where he and Big Bill faced off against Top Flight. This match ended up being his last appearance on AEW television, and he has been absent since then, as fans continue to question his status with AEW.
During his extended hiatus, Ricky Starks took to his Instagram and revealed that he recently landed a gig with Prada, specifically modelling in a new Lugz commercial for the brand.
