Starks hasn’t been used since March by AEW, and there is no clear reason behind the decision. He did show in GCW last month before he was pulled from future shows due to comments made by GCW star Effy about AEW and Tony Khan’s father. Here are the results from the show:
DEFY World Champion KENTA (c) defeated Pacific Northwest Champion SCHAFF (c) after the match RICKY STARKS made a surprise appearance to challenge Kenta.
