AEW star Ricky Starks has created a buzz in professional wrestling with his recent appearance in GCW. A recent report has provided an update on his All Elite Wrestling contract status.
Ricky Starks has been absent from television since March. Many believed he had a promising run ahead of him after AEW crowned him the 2023 Men's Owen Hart Cup winner. However, he wasn't booked in many notable programs before being removed from TV. Amid his hiatus, The Absolute was reportedly present backstage at Full Gear 2024.
The former FTW Champion also made an appearance for GCW, where he claimed that he was being frozen. This led fans to believe Starks was referring to his contract status.

I would like to always see them every day in my life, whether they come to me or whatever the case may be. That’s just how it is in life. You have people that you are cool with, and you’re always gonna have people say, like, well, you’re gonna do that because of this person.
