Two of the most exciting young stars in AEW & WWE are Ricky Starks and Zoey Stark.
One if a former FTW Champion who has feuded with huge stars like CM Punk, Chris Jericho and MJF, and is one of the top stars on AEW Collision.
The other is an 18-year-old prodigy who has quickly risen up as one of the most promising youngsters in years, and heralded as the voice to lead the women’s division for the next two decades.
They are two of the most promising talents in wrestling today – but is Ricky Starks related to Billie Starkz?
Is Ricky Starks Related To Zoey Stark?
Despite almost sharing a last name on TV, Ricky Starks and Zoey Stark are not related in real life.
The pair have very little connection at all. Ricky Starks is from New Orleans in Louisiana, and his real last name is actually Starks.
Meanwhile, Billie Starkz real name is Lillian Bridget. She has wrestled under a number of notable gimmicks on the indies, including Billy Starkz and Pizza Cat Jr.
The “Starkz” last name differs slightly from Ricky Starks, as it replaces the “s” on the end with a “z”, making it more unique.
Whether this was because of the popularity of the AEW star is unknown, but it does help differentiate the duo.
Both wrestlers appear in AEW, although Billie Starkz has been a fixture on ROH in recent months, while Ricky Starks appears primarily on AEW Collision.
