Ricky Starks Spotted Dining With WWE Champion Amidst AEW Exit Rumors

AEW has seen several of their top performers jump ship to their rivals, WWE, after their stints in the company. With some possible hints, the most recent speculation suggests that Ricky Starks might be the next to make this move.

Ricky Starks has been with AEW since 2020, achieving success in addition to multiple championships and accolades. However, he has been noticeably absent from AEW programming in recent months, fueling rumours about his future.

Reports suggest that The Absolute One is expected to sign with WWE once his AEW contract expires, potentially later this year. Ricky Starks has built strong relationships within WWE, and there’s no shortage of friends in the company who would welcome him.

In fact, current WWE star Jade Cargill recently had a somewhat celebratory dinner with Ricky Starks. Days later, another of Starks’s best friends, the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, took to his Instagram stories to drop a photo of a dining outing with Ricky Starks, alongside his wife, Brandi, Aarow Solo and other friends.

This has led to further rumours that Starks may be WWE-bound, particularly given his close friendship with Cody Rhodes. As the wrestling world watches closely, Starks’ next move could be significant and game-changing for his rising career.
