On last week’s episode of AEW Collision, it was announced that Ricky Starks had been suspended from wrestling in AEW for one month. The suspension was a result of Starks attacking Guest Referee Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat following his match with CM Punk the week prior. Starks had also noted that he had obtained a manager’s license and vowed to set fire to AEW.
Starks introduced Big Bill as his new client, who picked up a quick squash win. Following the match, Starks whipped the enhancement talent with a belt, which is expected to be a recurring theme going forward.
Notably, Starks’ “suspension”will expire in two weeks’ time.

Also on Friday night, a video package featuring LFI aired, where RUSH was seen orchestrating a revamped version of the faction. The vignette ended with his stablemates, Preston Vance and Dralistico, getting abducted in a van. You can make of the video what you will:
