After announcing a return to the independent scene and that he was still under contract with AEW despite his absence, he was removed from his next shows.
Indeed, Game Changer Wrestling has announced that Ricky Starks has been removed from upcoming GCW shows. Including the announced shows of December 14 and December 28, 2024, and also the still unannounced event of January 19, 2025. This is the AEW which made the decision to withdraw its shows since the AEW has priority over the booking of its wrestlers.
At this time it is impossible to know why AEW made the decision to remove Ricky Starks from these shows when he has not been used on screen since March 2024. Unless AEW officials began to prepare a plan for his return.
A file that remains to be monitored!
