Ricky Starks Out for Three Months With a Fractured Neck

Ricky Starks will be out of action for about three months due to a fractured neck that he suffered on AEW Dynamite last month, according to Voices of Wrestling and Bryan Alvarez.

The injury happened on the April 21 Dynamite during a match with Hangman Page, where Starks took a German suplex and attempted to flip over and land on his feet, but ended up landing on his neck.

This is the bump that Ricky Starks took that caused him to fracture his neck and be out for 3 months. Watching it back is kinda horrific 😨 hope he recovers quick. pic.twitter.com/J7FQzjk1Sv

He appeared to be OK afterwards and “no-sold” it and finished the match, though he was also favoring his ankle, possibly also because of the landing on the suplex.
