Last night, Ricky Starks and Big Bill faced Top Flight in the quarterfinals of the AEW World Tag Team Championship tournament on AEW Collision.
During the match, Darius Martin delivered a Pele Kick to Starks. Martin’s leg hit the back of Stark’s head. However, the referee continued the match despite Starks failing to kick out at two. The bout ended after Martin delivered a DDT on Starks and pinned him.
The Absolute posted an Instagram story to inform the fans that he was checked by the medical team and everything was fine.
“I’m all good, everything checked out fine. Was being precautious.”
