According to a new report from Fightful, they are reporting that GCW sources claim that Ricky Starks has been pulled from all planned upcoming appearances with the company by AEW. The decision was made on November 26 and relayed to Starks. It notes how AEW took exception to comments made by Effy bringing up Shad Khan on a recent podcast in regards to AEW running the Hammerstein Ballroom. He noted Shad is effectively paying Tony Khan to stay away. To hear the comments Effy made about AEW you can hear them in the tweet below.

Fightful’s report would also note how AEW will let Stakrs take indie booking for other companies but he is just not allowed to work for GCW at this time. Basically, they are not interested in paying Starks to wrestle for GCW. Some in AEW even suggested turning his GCW appearances into a work, but that will not be the case.
