He was teaming with Big Bill against Top Flight (Dante &amp; Darius Martin). Starks was checked out after the match and told friends afterward that he was feeling better and not to be concerned. Starks has a history of neck issues.<\/p>\n<p>During the match, Darius landed a back elbow to his neck and then a flip Pel\u00e9 kick to his vack. Starks went down slowly and gingerly, favoring his left shoulder area. He rolled to the ring apron. The ref checked on him.<\/p>\n<p>The match continued. Starks got back in the ring and was rolled up jackknife style. Although he didn&#8217;t lift his shoulder, the ref stopped his count before three. Fans booed. Starks staggered a bit before Darius landed a DDT and scored a three count. It didn&#8217;t seem like the planned finish since Tony Schiavone reacted with surprise in a way that indicated he didn&#8217;t expect that to be the finish.<\/p>\n<p>Top Flight advance in the AEW Tag Team Title tournament. It&#8217;s not clear if Starks &amp; Bill were supposed to win or not, but Starks called for at least an earlier finish than planned due to his concern with his neck. It seems he might&#8217;ve tagged out to Bill and sat out the rest of the match if he and Bill were the planned winners, though.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/player?episode_id=59224253&amp;theme=light&amp;playlist=false&amp;playlist-continuous=false&amp;chapters-image=true&amp;episode_image_position=right&amp;hide-logo=false&amp;hide-likes=false&amp;hide-comments=false&amp;hide-sharing=false&amp;hide-download=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200px\" frameborder=\"0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED NEXT:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2024\/03\/28\/aew-dynamite-hits-misses-3-27-ospreay-vs-shibata-swerve-vs-takeshita-mercedes-on-commentary-adam-cole\/\">AEW DYNAMITE HITS &amp; MISSES (3\/27): Ospreay vs. Shibata, Swerve vs. Takeshita, Mercedes on commentary, Adam Cole<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>OR CHECK THIS OUT AT PROWRESTLING.NET:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/prowrestling.net\/site\/2024\/03\/25\/mcguires-mondays-alex-coughlins-retirement-aews-rankings-system-and-the-arduous-build-to-wrestlemania-xl\/\">McGuire\u2019s Mondays: Alex Coughlin\u2019s retirement, AEW\u2019s rankings system, and the arduous build to WrestleMania XL<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1625804754\"><div id=\"pwtor-4057156002\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Ricky Starks suffered an apparent stinger during his match on AEW Collision tonight.
