Rumors have been circulating in the wrestling world that All Elite Wrestling (AEW) star Ricky Starks has been sidelined with an injury. However, the wrestler himself has taken to social media to debunk those claims, setting the record straight once and for all.
After losing the AEW Tag Team Championships to Sting and Darby Allin, Starks took a brief hiatus from television, only to return on the March 30 episode of Dynamite. However, following a loss to Top Flight in a tournament to determine the new AEW World Tag Team Champions, Starks once again disappeared from TV, fueling speculation that he was injured.
Reports surfaced that Starks was in Jacksonville, Florida, getting checked out by the medical team, leading many to assume that he was indeed injured. But Starks has squashed those rumors, revealing that he was simply getting his annual physical done.
Taking to Twitter, Starks stated, “I’m not injured, nor have I been injured. Pick another narrative, folks!” The wrestler’s tweet has put to rest any speculation about his health, and fans can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that their favorite star is healthy and ready to return to action.
Starks’ praise for his boss, Tony Khan, has also made headlines in recent weeks. In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda’s Bill Apter, Starks expressed his admiration for Khan, calling him a “great dude.” Khan, who has been heavily involved in AEW since its inception, has faced criticism from fans and critics alike, but Starks’ testimonial is a welcome endorsement for the promotion’s leader.
With Starks confirming that he is injury-free and ready to go, it remains to be seen when he will make his return to the ring. Fans will be eagerly anticipating his comeback, hoping to see him back in action soon. One thing is for certain, however: Ricky Starks is fit, ready, and raring to go, and AEW fans can’t wait to see what’s next for this talented wrestler.
