Tony Khan Discusses Ricky Starks’ AEW Status and Potential Australia Event – AEW President Tony Khan recently participated in a media call to promote the upcoming AEW All In pay-per-view event scheduled for this Sunday. During the call, Khan addressed two significant topics that have been generating buzz among fans and media alike.
The first topic revolved around the status of Ricky Starks, who hasn’t been featured prominently in AEW programming for several months. Speculation has been rife that Starks might be considering a move to WWE once his AEW contract expires. This week, rumors circulated on social media suggesting that Starks could already be a free agent. According to a report by Fightful Select, there is “significant interest” within WWE’s NXT brand in bringing Starks onboard whenever he becomes available.
When asked about the situation, Khan responded by expressing his high regard for Starks, emphasizing that Starks has been a great star for AEW. Khan clarified that Starks is still under contract with the promotion, dismissing the free agency rumors.
The second topic Khan addressed was the possibility of AEW holding an event in Australia. According to The Sporting News, AEW is planning to stage a show at a stadium venue in Australia in 2025. The promotion has reportedly scouted several venues on the country’s east coast, including Sydney’s Allianz Stadium, Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium, and Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium.
Khan confirmed that AEW is exploring various locations in Australia for a potential event in 2025. He hinted that more details would be forthcoming and noted that 2025 is set to be a milestone year for the promotion.
