One of All Elite Wrestling's brightest stars since his debut and the kind of talent the company could justifiably classify as "homegrown", Ricky Starks has, at multiple points, appeared as one of AEW's can't-miss talents.
And yet.
The road's been a rocky one thanks to injuries, questionable booking and then no booking at all, but in 2024 there seems only one logical end to the story. If not already on the cards, a move to WWE feels inevitable.
Starks could be a WWE main-eventer. His microphone skills (most of the time) and natural charisma align perfectly with WWE's entertainment-focused approach, he's had enough top-tier matches to prove he can easily carry his end when the bell rings, and a friend currently in a very high place helped establish him in a promotion once before. For better and worse, he's very himself, too. Triple H-era WWE might wish to refine that for marketing, but based on recent history, audiences can expect 'Absolute' as previously presented.
Leaving AEW for WWE isn't just a career move; it's a strategic giant leap.
