In June 2020, Ricky Starks made his AEW debut after accepting Cody Rhodes’ open challenge for the TNT Championship.
Before joining AEW Starks had been a part of the NWA. He was also a former NWA Television Champion.
Starks opened up about leaving the NWA during a recent appearance on “Casual Conversations With The Classic.”
“I left NWA. There was an option to renew the contract … and I said, ‘Nah, I’m good,’” Starks said. “The reason I did that is because I’m the type of person that, if I think I’ve got the most out of something, and there’s a ceiling that I’m about to hit, I just will take a gamble on myself, and I’ll just bounce.”
