Ricky Starks “Suspend” 30 Days from Wrestling Over Ricky Steamboat Attack, Starks Granted Manger’s License
Saturday’s AEW Collision show in Greensboro, North Carolina featured AEW announcing that Ricky Starks has been suspended from wrestling for 30 days over his attack last week to wrestling legend and WWE Hall of Famer Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat.
In an in-ring interview segment to open the show, AEW announcer Tony Schiavone informed Starks that he was suspended for 30 days for using his belt to attack Steamboat after his match last week against CM Punk for the “Real” AEW World Championship.
After giving his reasons why he attacked Steamboat, Starks stated that he is sticking around on Collision since he applied and was granted a manger’s license in AEW. Starks also promised to bring the war to Collision and claimed Steamboat’s blood was on Punk’s hands.
Ricky Starks got a manager’s license?!?

Powerhouse Hobbs vs. Miro Setup for AEW All Out 2023, Updated Card
Saturday’s AEW Collision show in Greensboro also featured one new potential match for the card of AEW’s All Out 2023 event on September 3rd at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.
This new potential match is a singles match of Powerhouse Hobbs vs. Miro.
During an in-ring interview segment, Hobbs stated that last week presented an opportunity for him for a big match at AEW’s upcoming All Out 2023 event in Chicago. Hobbs also stated that he has been distracted lately so he went back home to read from his Book of Hobbs. Hobbs then stated that the next chapter of his book is entitled Redemption and called out “The Redeemer” Miro for a match between the two at All Out.

This led to Miro coming out but before he could enter the ring to answer Hobbs’ challenge, QTV’s Aaron Solo and Nick Comoroto ambushed Miro and laid him out while Hobbs looked unimpressed in the ring. Solo and Comoroto then tossed Miro for more attacks but Miro fought them off only to get hit with a spinebuster by Hobbs. Hobbs then placed his Book of Hobbs on Miro’s prone body and walked away.
It's a set-up!
