More Details on the AEW Exits of Ricky Starks and Malakai Black & Miro

There have been significant changes in AEW recently, with Ricky Starks, Malakai Black, and Miro all exiting the promotion. As previously reported, the profiles of all three wrestlers have been removed from AEW’s roster page. But now, more details on their departures have emerged, shedding light on what led to their exits from the company.

Why Ricky Starks and Miro Were Released from AEW

According to wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer, Ricky Starks and Miro were released from AEW, while Malakai Black’s contract expired. This news surprised many fans, as these were some of the more prominent names in AEW. Meltzer also mentioned that Rey Fenix, another AEW talent, has not been released, though the reason for this difference is still unclear.

Creative Differences and Their Impact on AEW Releases

Ricky Starks, a fan favorite for his charisma and in-ring abilities, was reportedly granted his release by AEW. This follows earlier reports from Fightful Select, which confirmed that all three of these talents, Black, Starks, and Mir,o are now free agents and are not under any non-compete clauses, which means they could appear on WWE television if they sign with the company.

One of the key reasons behind Ricky Starks' exit seems to be related to creative differences within AEW. Meltzer revealed that Miro was in a similar situation to the company. Miro reportedly didn’t want to lose in his matches, which led to him being underused on AEW television. This creative disagreement ultimately played a significant role in his and Starks’ releases.

Future of Ricky Starks and Other Released Talent

While fans wonder about Ricky Starks' future, Meltzer clarified that he believes Starks and Black will likely head to WWE soon. He is also “certain” that Miro will eventually return to WWE. The direction these three wrestlers will take in the future remains a topic of great interest in the wrestling world.

Meltzer’s comments also hint at the changing dynamics in AEW, where wrestlers are not always getting the creative opportunities they desire. Ricky Starks's star power was undeniable, and many fans were shocked to see him leave. AEW has tried to create opportunities for new talents, but it seems that the creative direction didn’t align with their goals for some established stars like Ricky Starks.

What’s Next for Ricky Starks and His Fellow Wrestlers?

Now that Ricky Starks, Malakai Black, and Miro are free agents, the wrestling world eagerly awaits where they will appear next. With WWE reportedly interested in all three, it could be the beginning of an exciting new chapter for them. Whether they return to WWE or join another promotion, fans will continue to follow their future closely.

As Ricky Starks moves on from AEW, his departure marks another significant shift in the wrestling landscape. Fans are left wondering how his next chapter will unfold and what it will mean for his career in the coming months.
