Miro, Malakai Black and Ricky Starks are all free agents after they were either released or saw their AEW contracts expire.

Starks hasn't wrestled for AEW since March of last year, only wrestling five matches for the promotion in all of 2024. As Ricky revealed in an interview with ourselves last May - and more recently in a Chris Van Vliet chat - he hasn't been injured, he didn't know why he'd not been used more, and he was fit, healthy, and eager to work.

AEW released Ricky Starks and Miro after lengthy TV absences, setting the stage for WWE to add the two stars to their loaded roster.

Now known as Miro, WWE's former Rusev was also released from AEW after asking for his release in September 2024. His final match was at Worlds End on December 30, 2023.
