Ricky Starks, the 34-year-old All Elite Wrestling (AEW) star, has been making headlines despite his current absence from television. In a recent interview with WhatCulture Wrestling, Starks reflected on his former partnership with Big Bill, praising his former tag team partner and expressing happiness for his success.
Starks and Big Bill, also known as the unlikely duo, found success together, defeating FTR for the AEW World Tag Team Championship and holding the titles for 123 days. However, their partnership seemed to come to an end when Starks disappeared from television soon after, and Big Bill joined Chris Jericho under the latter’s “Learning Tree.”
When asked about his time with Big Bill, Starks was full of praise for his former partner, acknowledging that they made the most of their unexpected partnership. Despite their success, Starks’ absence from TV has sparked speculation about his future in AEW. Some fans believe that Starks may depart AEW once his contract is up, citing his friendship with Cody Rhodes as a potential reason to make the jump to WWE.
However, Starks downplayed the significance of his recent appearances at WWE events, including the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania. According to Starks, he was simply supporting his friends and not making a statement about his future in AEW.
Despite finding success in AEW, including becoming the NWA World Television Champion, Starks’ booking has been criticized for being inconsistent. As a result, his future in the promotion remains uncertain. Whether Starks chooses to stay with AEW or explore opportunities elsewhere remains to be seen, but one thing is clear – his partnership with Big Bill will always be remembered as a highlight of his career.
Starks’ absence from TV has led to speculation about his future, but for now, fans can only speculate about what’s next for the “Absolute” one. Will he return to AEW and reclaim his spot as a top star, or will he explore new opportunities elsewhere? Only time will tell. One thing is certain, however – Ricky Starks’ partnership with Big Bill will always be remembered as a highlight of his career.
