AEW star and former Ring of Honor Women’s TV Champion Billie Starkz has been forced to withdraw from the upcoming Vacationland Cup tournament, scheduled for this Saturday in Maine, due to an undisclosed injury.
The announcement was made by Limitless Wrestling on Wednesday, leaving fans disappointed as Starkz was set to compete in this highly anticipated event.
Details surrounding the injury remain unclear, including how and when it occurred. It is believed that the injury may have happened after August 7th, when Starkz’s participation in the tournament was first confirmed. According to sources close to the situation, AEW made the decision to pull Starkz from the event, and she could be sidelined for several weeks while her condition is evaluated.
Starkz has not yet publicly addressed the injury on her social media platforms. However, she did share an Instagram story from a sports medicine facility, captioned with the phrase:
Are you hurt or are you injured?
This has sparked speculation among fans regarding the severity of her condition.
The last time Starkz was seen in action was during a Ring of Honor taping in late July. There were no reports of any injuries or issues arising from those tapings, making her sudden withdrawal from the Vacationland Cup all the more surprising. In Starkz’s absence, Davienne will step in to compete against Gabby Forza in the tournament.
