Backstage belief in AEW regarding Ricky Starks’ possible WWE move - Reports

AEW star Ricky Starks is once again in the news as reports suggest he might be moving to WWE. Latest reports about the backstage sentiment in AEW regarding this have come to the fore.

Starks' recent matches with the Jacksonville-based company have been in the news for his losses. The former AEW Tag Team Champion won the title with Big Bill on a Collision episode. However, after losing the title to Sting and Darby Allin, it seems that The Absolute One's All Elite Wrestling career has taken a downward trajectory. The star was recently rumored to move to WWE, but nothing concrete has come of that.

A Fightful Select report suggests that while several AEW entities think Stark wants to go to WWE, there's no confirmation about the former AEW Tag Team Champion's train of thought. Starks' last match on AEW was in March in the AEW Tag Team Quarter Finals, where they faced defeat at the hands of Top Flight.

Ricky Starks reportedly rejected the idea of a big feud

Ricky Starks and Big Bill are tag team partners and were the AEW Tag Team Champions. After losing the title to Darby Allin and Sting, they have been hunting for the championship, participating in the AEW World Tag Team Tournament, and racing to the Quarter Finals.

However, a Fightful Select report suggests that the AEW creative team was working on a feud between Big Bill and Starks, but the 34-year-old wrestler rejected the idea.

There were also rumors that Starks had some legal issues, but there is no concrete proof of the legal issues.

Starks has been with AEW since 2020 and is one of the most popular stars. Several fans have commented on him having huge potential and could become one of the long-term assets for AEW. It remains to be seen whether he will join WWE in the near future.
