Ricky Starks Set to Confront Jon Moxley After AEW World Championship Win

The professional wrestling world is buzzing after Jon Moxley’s shocking betrayal of his stablemate Bryan Danielson at AEW All Out 2024. The incident marked the beginning of a new chapter in Moxley’s career, and his recent actions have left fans eagerly anticipating what’s next for the 38-year-old wrestler.

Moxley’s transformation into a villainous character continued at WrestleDream, where he defeated Danielson to claim the AEW World Championship. In a disturbing turn of events, Moxley’s ally Wheeler Yuta choked out Danielson with a plastic bag, seemingly ending the 43-year-old’s in-ring career. This despicable act has sparked outrage among fans and raised questions about what’s next for Moxley’s faction.

Ricky Starks, a fan favorite who has been absent from AEW since March, could be the answer to Moxley’s growing list of enemies. Starks, 34, has been cleared for in-ring action and has continued to make headlines despite his lengthy absence. His return to AEW would create a compelling storyline, especially if he confronts the newly crowned World Champion.

Starks’ future in AEW has been a subject of speculation, with rumors circulating about his possible departure to WWE. However, during a recent appearance on Highspots Virtual Signing, Starks assured fans that he has no intention of leaving Tony Khan’s promotion. "Honestly, that’s so sweet that people would say that to me [that they think I’ll end up working for someone else]," Starks said. "I think it’s a compliment. A great thing to hear people care about me that much."

With Moxley’s faction gaining momentum, the return of Starks could provide the perfect counterbalance. Starks’ popularity and charisma make him an ideal candidate to stand up to Moxley’s villainous character. As the professional wrestling world waits with bated breath, it remains to be seen whether Starks will indeed make his return to AEW on Dynamite and confront the man who has become a thorn in the side of many fans.

Regardless of what transpires, one thing is certain – the coming weeks will be pivotal in shaping the future of AEW. Will Starks emerge as the hero fans have been waiting for, or will Moxley’s reign of terror continue unchecked? Only time will tell.
