The former AEW World Tag Team Champion has been absent from television from TV for the past few months with many fans wondering when they'd see him return to action. There have been many reports about Ricky Starks having heat in All Elite Wrestling and potentially leaving the promotion once his deal with Tony Khan's company is up.

In a recent report by Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it was revealed that The Absolute One will be heading to Triple H-led promotion after his All Elite Wrestling contract expires.

Triple H could sign AEW star Ricky Starks to WWE according to Ryback

Ricky Starks has been the talk of the town ever since the rumors about his potential jump to the WWE started to spread on social media. Many under the WWE umbrella have spoken highly of Starks and believe that he could fit right in the Stamford-based promotion.

In a recent edition of his Ryback TV podcast, The Big Guy claimed that the WWE might be interested in signing Ricky Starks due to his relationship with Cody Rhodes.

"I like Ricky [Starks] a lot, and I'm very proud of him. But again in the size thing and like it's WWE. It's a different monster and animal, and I think though, I think WWE would be interested in him through Cody [Rhodes] and because taking pieces like pieces from there. But he's not had a sustainable run in AEW, you know, it had hiccups along the way, and the injuries have played a factor in that as well," he added.

The Absolute looked to have a promising run in AEW after he won the 2023 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. However, he quickly fell victim to underwhelming booking. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for Ricky Starks.
