AEW star Ricky Starks reportedly is out of action with a fractured neck
As first reported by Voices of Wrestling, and then later confirmed by F4WOnline, AEW star Ricky Starks is out of action with a fractured neck.
Starks apparently suffered the injury during his match against Hangman Page on the April 21 episode of AEW Dynamite.
The injury is said to have occurred when he tried to flip over after taking a german suplex from Page. Instead of landing on his feet, he hit the mat awkwardly on his neck and then his ankle. He finished the match, and took the pin.
He took to Twitter later after the match tp respond to a fan that he “was good” and also gave credit to DDP Yoga for his flexibility.
It should be noted that Starks appeared on the following week’s episode of AEW Dark in a tag match with Powerhouse Hobbs. He never participated in the match that lasted around 30 seconds.
