AEW’s Ricky Starks is going to be out of action for the next several months with a neck injury. The news was first reported by Voices of Wrestling via their Patreon and then confirmed by F4WOnline’s Bryan Alvarez.
Starks suffered a fractured neck and that injury occurred during his match against Hangman Adam Page on the April 21st Dynamite. That was Starks’ most recent match that he was active in. He has been appearing on Dynamite in on-screen segments with the remainder of Team Taz (Brian Cage, Powerhouse Hobbs, Hook & Taz).
Cody Rhodes took to social media and tweeted out that Starks is going to be a champion one day as the news began to make the rounds about Starks’ injury.
The Starkman will be champion one day – I’d bet it all on that
