AEW made a big blunder with Ricky Starks' current suspension; All Out status revealed

More information regarding Ricky Starks' suspension status has been revealed. He was suspended from in-ring competition last week due to his attack on Hall of Famer Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat.

On the latest episode of AEW Collision, Tony Schiavone addressed Ricky Starks' suspension. Schiavone said he misspoke last week when he said that the suspension was for 30 days, and it should have been for only four weeks (28 days). This started on the day the Absolute attacked the Hall of Famer, so according to him, he served half of his suspension already.

Starks was allowed to appear on Collision after he announced last week that he got a manager's license. However, Starks' suspension means he would not be able to compete at Wembley for All In. His suspension ending in two weeks means he would be eligible for All Out in Chicago instead.

Ricky Starks may not be able to compete, but he is more than cleared to simply be at the venue for AEW events. With All In and All Out right around the corner, he may be able to make an impact despite not actually competing.

What do you think the Absolute will pull off in the next few weeks? Let us know in the comments section below.

Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.

If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.
