I think it all depends on when his contract actually fucking expires. With how secretive it seems to be for whatever reason I think they want him on NXT because of the move to the new network and re-establishing themselves on there and having some big debuts on those back to back shows. Main player on NXT throughout the remainder of the year, Rumble appearance then a big WrestleMania season in NXT before being called up after Mania.

Again, all contract depending.

Ricky is 34, does he really have time to lose another year or two in developmental where he makes less money? Another valid question imo
I get all your points and the make total sense. Heck knows tbh and he's just wanting to be out of AEW as he thinks he's not valued enough. We know he is but what we think and he wants are two different matters.

Ricky going to NXT would be a fuckin waste of what time he has left in ring. Get him up there with the Codester. And yeah Jade’s “star power” could be her downfall. She could’ve used a year or two in NXT. I’m guessing that was TKO pressure to get someone with her look on main tv asap.

It’s about damn time. Been waiting for Starks to be free for a while.

Don’t care if he has to go to NXT. It’s not the end of the world especially if he’s gonna be featured prominently

I don't think NXT needs the star power at all for the CW tbh, I think they're going to do great numbers there as is. If the think they do, then that would be be the only acceptable reason even if I don't agree
