Tony Khan is speculated to lose a few good wrestlers from his roster because of their inactivity in AEW. Ricky Starks‘ future pointed to a change of scenery according to reports in recent weeks. Ever since he was on a hiatus following his last appearance in March 2024, fans have shown their interest in seeing the star sign with WWE. In a recent podcast by Fightful, Sean Ross Sapp talked about the possibility of the AEW talent showing up in WWE. Although these were speculations, the conversation gives us a good idea as to where Ricky Starks may be standing right now. RICKY STARKS’ POSSIBLE WWE DEBUT The AEW head honcho was recently seen supporting the top star by praising him on SHAK Wrestling [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V35T9oaERG0]. He claimed that he is appreciative of the work that his employee has put in up until now. The President of AEW also confessed how for four out of five years of AEW, Starks has been a big part of the company. Now, while talking on the Fightful Wrestling podcast, Sean Ross Sapp was asked to share his findings on where Ricky Starks may end up. Sapp claimed [https://www.youtube.com/live/ZHAg-ZqS-1w?si=lmB9BCc6HHEqpxcJ&t=1128], “I haven’t heard anything about it, so I can’t necessarily confirm or deny those reports. I have not heard anything new about Ricky Starks’ contract because I ask all the time. He plays it very, very close to the vest. But I don’t think he is opposed to return to AEW.” [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/ricky-starks-hugging-tony-khan.jpg] Due to the privacy that Starks maintains regarding his work, there aren’t many credible reports around. However, an AEW return could be possible according to the wrestling insider since he is not completely opposed to it. But in another podcast, SRS predicted it the other way around. INDUSTRY INSIDER CAN SEE RICKY STARKS DEBUTING IN WWE A couple of weeks ago, on the Fightful podcast after Monday Night Raw, Sean Ross was asked to share his thoughts on Ricky Starks’ future in the company. Fans had already been impatient regarding his return to the squared circle. After the absence at the Double or Nothing PPV, a viewer finally asked the host to shed light on the same. This is when Sapp confessed [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-aew-news-absolutely-ricky-starks-britt-bakers-latest-wwe-debut-update-given-after-double-or-nothing-absence/] that he can see the wrestler eventually showing up in WWE. The most recent podcast has also claimed that this wish may not be fulfilled because of how Starks might still be looking forward to return to AEW. Where do you think Ricky Starks should end up? 

Amidst speculations of Ricky Starks leaving AEW, here is an update for fans following Tony Khan's praise for the top star.
