Ricky Starks has won the Dynamite Dozen Battle Royal.
The legendary three year streak set by MJF was officially broken on the December 7 edition of AEW Dynamite, as Ricky Starks won the Dynamite Dozen Battle Royal. Starks won the prestigious Battle Royal by eliminating Ethan Page in the final moments of the match.
As previously mentioned, MJF won the match in 2019, 2020, and 2021. The current AEW World Champion is still the holder of the Dynamite Diamond Ring. As a result of winning Wednesday's Battle Royal, Starks will challenge MJF for the ring and the AEW World Championship on the December 14 edition of Dynamite.

Starks was confronted by MJF after the conclusion of the match. The two would go on to exchange verbal jabs, with MJF calling Starks a dollar store version of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. Starks responded by excusing MJF of consistently using low hanging fruit jokes.
