The &#8220;Absolute One&#8221; is heading into this contest on a roll. After winning the AEW World Title Eliminator Tournament to secure his shot for the world title, Starks followed it up with a Dynamite Diamond Battle Royale victory on last week&#8217;s <em>Dynamite<\/em>, securing an opportunity to take both of MJF&#8217;s prized possessions all in one fell swoop.<\/p>\n<p>Despite all the things he has endured and the myriad of injuries he&#8217;s currently nursing, Starks is riding a wave of momentum entering this monumental bout. Ahead of their matchup, these two met at the center of the ring in a scathing war of words last week. MJF tried to play mind games with Starks, undercutting everything Ricky has accomplished thus far in his burgeoning career.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for the AEW World Champion, Ricky Starks came to play and had a few choice words for MJF that left the loudmouth speechless. In vintage MJF fashion, he would take the lowest of roads &#8211; hitting Ricky &#8220;down south&#8221;. Starks immediately turned the tables, literally spearing MJF out of his expensive loafers. When the dust settled, Starks hoisted the title that he hopes to capture on this Wednesday&#8217;s <em>Winter Is Coming<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Will the image of Ricky Starks holding the AEW World Title finally become a reality? Or will MJF have enough tricks up his sleeve to slither away with the Dynamite Diamond ring and the gold?
