Ricky Starks Hates Backstage Drama, Believes It Overshadows What Happens On Television

Ricky Starks isn’t happy with the talk of backstage drama lately.

Over the last few weeks, there has been talk of a lot of drama backstage in All Elite Wrestling. From CM Punk to Eddie Kingston, there have been bust ups and issues that has led to many questioning what is going on backstage at AEW events.

Speaking on the Battleground podcast, Starks was asked about the current backstage environment in AEW.

“The locker room has definitely changed. Where we were once really really close, we’ve expanded that, we’re still close, we just have more family now, more people that sit at the table. I definitely think that the drama of the backstage stuff, while it does pique the interest of people online, I fucking hate it. The reason I hate it is because it kind of overshadows some of the stuff that happens on TV. For that, I’d rather not be involved with it, but you have people backstage who have loose lips, that’s what happens, and now we’ve created a scenario where we have all the rumors and speculation because that’s all it is. I promise you, what you read is not necessarily true,”
