There has been speculation about AEW star Ricky Starks’ next move amid his hiatus. He could well be WWE-bound soon as he has drawn interest from WWE’s developmental brand, NXT.
It has come to light that Starks is still under contract with AEW despite being away from AEW TV and there are no details as to when his contract expires. Amid the rumors floating on social media, Fightful Select has reported that NXT sources noted there is significant interest in bringing Starks into the white and gold brand once he is available.
As speculation continues to fuel about his future, Starks took to his social media and dropped a picture of himself. He flaunted his shredded physique and made it clear that he is maintaining his shape ahead of his possible jump to WWE.
Starks was last featured on AEW TV on March 30 edition of AEW Collision. He had teamed with Big Bill and faced Top Flight in an AEW World Tag Title Tournament match. Starks became one of the top stars of the promotion but his lackluster booking has drawn major criticism from the fans. Reports stated that he turned down creative pitches which led to AEW writing him off the programming.
Starks previously worked as an enhancement talent for WWE and had some matches for the company. Starks is a good friend of WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes and was spotted at last year’s Royal Rumble PLE. This could certainly influence Starks’ move to WWE.
Moreover, several former AEW stars including Lexis King and current NXT Champion Ethan Page also jumped ship to NXT. Ricky Starks could certainly follow suit. More AEW stars could also be in line to sign with WWE.
