Ricky Starks to face Mike Santana in House of Glory debut

Ricky Starks’ House of Glory debut is set. On Friday, the company announced that Starks would be wrestling Mike Santana on January 17 in Chicago. Santana will be defending the HOG World Heavyweight title. The news comes as Starks has continued to keep his name out in the open despite AEW not using him. Last weekend, he made his debut in GCW and was set to compete at several of their shows, including their return to the Hammerstein Ballroom in January. However, GCW informed fans just days later that he had been pulled from all shows going forward. According to reports, AEW pulled Starks due to comments GCW star Effy made against Tony & Shad Khan. Starks has been kept off of AEW television since the end of March. In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, he explained that he has been home, has been healthy, and has never been injured. The only matches Starks has wrestled since March is a BTW event in May and at Glory Pro WrestlePocalypse on November 24, where he and Kody Lane went to a no contest. Source
