Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, wrestling fanatics around the globe – lend me your ears, for I have some earth-shattering news that might just break the ring in two! Hold onto your championship belts, because it appears the dynamic duo of Ricky Starks and Big Bill is no more. That’s right, no more high-fives, no more matching outfits, and definitely no more co-champion pizza parties.
After losing their AEW Tag Team Championship to the legendary Sting and Darby Allin – and let me tell you, that match had more flips and kicks than a pancake house on a Sunday – our beloved tag team seemed to have hit the ropes hard. According to the wrestling prophets over at Fightful Select, AEW insiders have whispered that there are absolutely no plans to reunite Starks and Big Bill. It seems the tag team dream is over, folks, and our wrestling heroes are set to fly solo.
Now, why on earth were they entered in the tournament to crown new champs after Sting hung up his boots, only to be knocked out faster than you can say “tag me, bro”? And why, oh why, was there no grand soap opera-worthy explanation for their split on-screen? The drama, the intrigue – missed opportunities, I tell you!
Big Bill has since cozied up with Chris Jericho – because nothing heals the pain of a breakup like a new bromance – while Ricky Starks has been MIA, insisting he’s as fit as a fiddle. Yet, he hasn’t laced up those boots since. Suspicious much? And let’s not forget the juicy tidbit that nearly broke the internet: rumors of Starks’ contract expiring faster than milk left out on a hot day. Though AEW’s head honcho Tony Khan quickly squashed those rumors like a bug in the ring, one has to wonder what’s really going on behind the scenes.
So, what do you think, wrestling fans? Is this the end of an era for Starks and Bill, or is there a plot twist waiting in the wings ready to jump off the top rope and surprise us all? One thing’s for sure – in the world of wrestling, it ain’t over ’til the bell rings. Or until someone gets hit with a folding chair.
