Ricky Starks last appeared on the March 30th episode of AEW Collision, where he teamed up with Big Bill in a tag team title tournament match against Top Flight. During the match, Starks appeared to suffer an injury, and since then, he has been absent from television. While the exact reason for his prolonged absence remains unclear, rumors and speculation have continued to swirl among fans, eagerly waiting for his return to AEW programming.
