Ricky Starks' AEW Contract Not Expiring Anytime Soon

Don't expect Ricky Starks to show up on WWE TV in 2024.

According to Fightful Select, Ricky Starks remains under contract with All Elite Wrestling and his deal isn't set to expire anytime soon. Starks has been a part of AEW since 2020 and he is a former AEW World Tag Team Champion and FTW Champion.

Starks hasn't appeared on AEW programming since March 2024, however. Starks sustained an injury that month in a match where he teamed with Big Bill against Top Flight, with the winners of the match being changed due to Starks' issue.

The 34-year-old was soon ready for an in-ring return, though, but he simply hasn't been booked by the promotion for the past seven months. Starks recently confirmed that he is not dealing with an injury and that he is fully healthy to wrestle.

What could be causing Starks an issue, though, is the belief within All Elite Wrestling that he wants to go to WWE. WWE are reportedly interested in adding Starks to their roster of talent and the expectation is Starks will join WWE when he is able to do so.
