Ricky Starks says he's all good after he needed to be checked out by medical staff following his match on the March 30 episode of AEW Saturday Collision.
During the March 30th episode of AEW Saturday Collision, Ricky Starks and Big Bill lost to Dante Martin and Darius Martin. Toward the end of the match, there was a moment where it appeared that Starks had been pinned but the referee did not count the three, this led to Stark taking a DDT before officially getting his shoulders counted to the mat.
Following the conclusion of the match, a member of the medical personnel rushed to the ring in order to check on Ricky. Now, Ricky has come out to say that he is doing okay and it was just a matter of being precautions.
In an Instagram story, Starks revealed that he was doing okay and that everything checked out okay.

Fightful Select had more information on this story, including the fact that Ricky and Bill were slated to defeat Top Flight before the audible was called.
From Fightful Select:
An AEW Collision match didn't go as planned.
The AEW Tag Team Title tournament continued on AEW Collision, with Top Flight defeating former tag team champs Ricky Starks and Big Bill.
Towards the end of the match there was a pinfall on Ricky Starks that wasn't planned to be the finish, but very clearly should have been a pinfall anyway as Starks didn't get his shoulder up. Starks stood up, took a DDT and ate a pin. Darius Martin could be seen talking to the referee, as the pin happened.
Trainers checked on Ricky Starks after the match. Big Bill and Ricky Starks were originally slated to win the match and face FTR.
