Ricky Starks has shocked the world by making his unannounced WWE debut and now the former AEW star has broken his silence on the situation.

Tony Khan recently cleared out his roster, getting rid of several big names whose futures had all been in serious doubt. Malakai Black was the most recently used of those let go but his House of Black teammates have moved on as The Hounds of Hell without him.

Miro has not been seen in AEW since 2023 and he has finally been let go from his deal. Ricky Starks has been vocal about his situation in AEW and now he seems to have got his wish and been let go from the company. But Starks hasn’t waited long to make his next move.

Ricky Starks’ Revolution Will Be Televised

Ricky Starks shocked everyone with his WWE debut on NXT. The crowd chanted his name as he luxuriated in his new surroundings.

Starks has now taken to social media to break his silence on the debut with a short but sweet message:

Right time, right guy.

Starks debuting in NXT means he follows the likes of Shawn Spears, Ethan Page, and Lexis King in leaving AEW to join the brand. Former AEW Tag Team Champion Penta debuted on the WWE main roster when he joined the company in early 2025.
