The next day after receiving his release from AEW, Ricky Starks appeared on “WWE NXT” and cut a promo among WWE Performance Center fans. While the ring team always configured the cage of the main event, Starks appeared, microphone in hand. He appeared without music, with only the cheers of the crowd and a “sacred shit!” From Vic Joseph on comments to the house alert fans what was going on. The fans sang his name as a projector appeared on the former AEW star.
“If ‘NXT’ is the future of professional struggle, guess what, you need an absolute superstar of the future,” said Starks. “If it is the hottest brand, well, you need the hottest free agent at the moment, baby. Everyone has asked when the revolution is a television again. Well, I’m here , isn’t it? “
Starks was withdrawn from the AEW alignment page on Monday and it was reported that it was “free and clear” to go everywhere he wanted to perform without a non-competition clause to join. Several reports said that his contract with Tony Khan was to run out of this spring, after AEW resumed the year of option on his contract, but did not use on television. “NXT” will host its event live from its revenge day on Saturday, but Starks gave no indication in its promotion of whether it will appear or not.
