During Saturday night’s AEW Battle of the Belts event, we saw an FTW Championship match featuring Ricky Starks and Matt Sydal.
While Starks was working with an injured leg, he was able to pin Sydal with the Roshambo. Following the match, Team Taz attacked Sydal. Eventually, Lee Moriarty and Dante Martin came out to make the save.
Starks has been the FTW champion for 179 days after defeating Brian Cage at night one of Fyter Fest on July 14, 2021.
