10 Wrestlers Who Will Be AEW Champion Before The Next US Election
7. Ricky Starks
While he still has a long way to go before he gets there, one day Ricky Starks will be a full-blown megastar within the wrestling business. He just has it all: the in-ring ability, the stage presence, the mic talking skills of a thousand poets, and just the right amount of arrogance to match it. Tony Khan is fully aware of this as well, otherwise he wouldn’t have signed him immediately after his blinder against Cody, and then proceed to pair him with Brian Cage and Taz.
He’s been around the wrestling world for almost ten years now and he is still developing. But that development has picked up at a rapid rate since his signing with the Elite company. You can just tell that Khan has big plans in store for him, and in a year or two, he will certainly be ready to carry the company. Before then, however, he will probably have multiple TNT reigns to boast and perhaps even a Tag Title reign if Team Taz decides to enter the already stacked division.
Plain and simple, Starks has the X-Factor. He might be a nine-year veteran of the business, but his career is only just beginning.
