Ricky Starks is a first-of-his-kind acquisition by WWE.
You may make the case Starks — renamed Ricky Saints in NXT — is the primary AEW expertise WWE has introduced in that AEW followers had been desirous to see extra of, somebody who had not come near hitting their ceiling.
It’s the other of how issues had been when AEW first began in 2019 and performers had been leaving WWE to see if they’d be higher utilized and maximized by Tony Khan’s firm.
Perhaps you may persuade me Jade Cargill not changing into AEW Ladies’s champion is on par with the 34-year-old Saints’ unfulfilled AEW promise, however she was handled like one of many firm’s largest stars regardless all through her run.
