As we reported earlier today here on eWn, AEW Superstar Ricky Starks has suffered a fractured neck. The injury happened while he was working with Adam Page on the April 21st edition of Dynamite when Starks landed on his head from a release German suplex. Starks is expected to miss around 3 months of in-ring action, but will continue to appear on AEW TV in some capacity as Starks’ neck will heal without needing surgery.
Following the reports of the injury, Cody Rhodes and Bayley took to Twitter to issue some high praise. Rhodes said,
“The Starkman will be champion one day – I’d bet it all on that”
Bayley responded to Cody’s tweet, simply saying, “Same.”
Same
