Ricky Starks reveals he was being 'precautious' about his neck during AEW Collision match.
On AEW Collision, former AEW World Tag Team Champions Ricky Starks and Big Bill competed in the semi-finals of the tag tournament to earn a shot at the titles at AEW Dynasty. During their math against Darius and Dante Martin, it appeared that Starks may have been injured off of the pelé kick. He began holding his neck and he failed to kick out of a pinfall attempt that shouldn't have been a three-count.
When the match concluded, the trainer and referee were seen talking to Starks in the ring as he held not the back of his neck. This led fans to incredible worry as he's dealt with severe neck injuries in the past. In 2021 during a singles match with Hangman Adam Page, Starks took a German Suplex and attempted to kip-up back to his feet. When he did so, he noticed a weird feeling in his neck and it wasn't until he went to see three doctors that it was determined he had fractured his neck.
"... I could have lost everything. Doctors said that I was so close to being paralyzed and I couldn't — man, I couldn't even fathom that and it's not even for my own reason but it's for the fact that I knew my mom and my family were watching and I don't think I could ever live with them having to witness that on national television to see," Starks admitted in the interview."So, yeah man, I'm glad that things worked out a lot better afterwards.
Cameron Hawkins of The Ringer took to his X account shortly after the Collision match to let fans know that Starks was okay and it had just been a stinger. Starks then doubled down on his own social media, posting on his Instagram story that he was being"precautious" writing,"I'm all good; everything checked out fine. Was being precautious.
