It looks like WWE is ready to roll out the biggest red carpet for yet another AEW standout, folks. That’s right—big league moves are happening as WWE NXT reportedly has its eyes set on none other than “Absolute” Ricky Starks. The rumors are swirling faster than a political scandal, and according to the fine folks at Fightful Select, there’s a lot of interest in bringing Starks into WWE’s developmental brand once his AEW contract wraps up. When exactly does it expire, you ask? Well, that’s the million-dollar question!
Now, Ricky Starks isn’t just any name, folks. This man is a champion, a real winner. He’s held the FTW Championship for over a year, beat Chris Jericho twice—twice folks, no easy feat—and even handed CM Punk one of his rare losses during his AEW run. He’s also an AEW Tag Team Champion as of October 2023. But despite his incredible track record, some fans claim he hasn’t reached his full potential in AEW. Can you believe that? Just imagine what he could do in NXT, where champions are made and stars are born.
The speculation about his future has only grown since he last appeared on AEW television on March 30, leaving fans and insiders alike wondering if WWE is about to snatch up another top talent. You know what they say—where there’s smoke, there’s fire. And this fire might just be leading Ricky Starks straight to the bright lights of NXT.
So, what’s next for the “Absolute” superstar? Will we see him stepping into the NXT ring soon, ready to make an epic splash? Only time will tell, folks. But one thing’s for sure: if Ricky Starks is heading to NXT, it’s going to be yuge. Stay tuned, because this story is just heating up!
