Fightful Select has shared an update on the status of Ricky Starks after speculations about him being a free agent surfaced on social media earlier today.
Starks was seen training at WWE couple Natalya and Tyson Kidd’s facility earlier this year, which Natalya shared on her Instagram handle.
The rumors about Starks being a free agent spread like wildfire earlier today, and fans speculated he could be headed to for WWE with his friend Cody Rhodes already returning to the company two years ago.
According to the latest report, AEW sources stated that any talk of Starks being a free agent was “news to them.” Those close to Starks also confirmed that his AEW contract has yet to expire, and he is not a free agent.
Starks hasn’t appeared on AEW TV since he and Big Bill lost the AEW World Tag Team Championships to Sting and Darby Allin last month on AEW Dynamite.
It’s unknown when Starks’ current AEW contract expires, but he is still said to be firmly under contract with Tony Khan’s promotion.
