Ricky Starks hasn’t been used in months and is expected to leave AEW for WWE NXT when available.
While speaking during a Highspots virtual signing, Ricky addressed his whereabouts.
“Honestly, that’s so sweet that people would say that to me. I think it’s a compliment. A great thing to hear people care about me that much.”
“No. I’m healthy, I’m of sound mind and body. I’m capable to wrestle. Just, you know, not up to me. I get a lot of messages lately where people are like, hey, just checking in on you. Hope you’re doing well. Hope you’re mentally okay, and it’s so sweet. It means a lot to me because these people don’t know what’s going on, right. But yeah, I get a lot of messages and every time I read ‘em, I tear up. Because people care, you know? I love them. I wish I could give an answer. I’m healthy, I’m ready to get back in the ring. I am in shape obviously, always been in shape. Sometimes it isn’t up to me, I guess. I love wrestling and I’m gonna figure out a way to do it one way or another. I at least think I owe fans some type of explanation to the best of my ability, to the best of my knowledge so, some people don’t want to believe that. I don’t give a fuck. But, yeah, I wish I had more… a definitive answer but sometimes, darkness is your only friend, when you’re definitely trying to find the light.”
In an update, Fightful Select reports that Starks is still under contract with AEW and the deal doesn’t expire anytime soon.
