Ricky Starks Wants To Pursue The AEW World Title Following End Of Chris Jericho Feud

Speaking at the post-AEW Revolution press conference, Ricky Starks outlined his future aims following his victory against Chris Jericho in the opening match of the night. Starks won the match after Action Andretti prevented Sammy Guevara from interfering. Starks explained:

"If I beat a former AEW champion, that means that I skip the line. Now I can go back to getting my shot at the AEW Championship.

"That is ultimately what this whole thing has been about since day one. I am not a dumb, young kid. I know what I’m doing. Obviously, people don’t think that. So after tonight, obviously I feel like I’m in contention to be the guy next up, especially after how December went. I feel like it’s well worth it in my playground to actually go after it. And [to] be a little bit more prepared, honestly.”

Starks was MJF's first title defence after winning the belt from Jon Moxley at Full Gear 2022. The champion recently retained his title after a 60-minute Iron Man Match with Bryan Danielson in the main event of Revolution.
