Darby Allin, MJF, Sammy Guevara, and Jack Perry may be known as the four pillars of AEW, but those positions are always subject to change.
On a recent edition of the “AEW Unrestricted” podcast, Aubrey Edwards spoke about Ricky Starks and how he is one to watch within the promotion. She said,
“I feel like we’re just seeing the start of Ricky Starks at AEW. He’s one of our future stars. There’s been so much talk about ‘the pillars’ forever, but I think you can kind of change them out. And I think Ricky Starks might be coming in making some construction and putting himself in there.”
AEW Wrestling Administration Coordinator Will Washington agreed that Starks, the winner of the 2023 Men’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, has a bright future. He said,
“[Starks] is just one of those guys that when he comes out, people just know that he’s a big deal, and because he is. He’s put in the work and he’s gotten there. Doing a Texas death match on TV is hard. Doing it after a phenomenal pay-per-view match is even harder, and the dude excels.”
Ricky Starks is one-half of the reigning AEW World Tag Team Champions alongside Big Bill. The pair have held the titles since October 2023 when they dethroned FTR.
