Billie Starkz is celebrating a special occasion today. AEW has sent her some heartfelt wishes on this day.
Starkz joined the AEW roster in 2022. She immediately captured everyone’s attention by being one of the youngest stars on the roster. Despite her young age, Starkz has been a regular feature on AEW and ROH TV. She even found quite a bit of success by making it to the finals of the ROH Women’s Pure Title Tournament before losing to Deonna Purrazzo. Starkz has shown many times that she will be the future of the women’s division someday.
The young AEW star just turned 21 years old today. Hence, Tony Khan’s company took to social media to wish their rising star on this special occasion. We at Sportskeeda would also like to extend our best wishes to Starkz.
“Happy Birthday! @BillieStarkz 🎁”

Jim Cornette believes Billie Starkz is not ready for TV yet
Billie Starkz has been a constant feature on ROH, where she has formed an alliance with Athena in one of the most compelling storylines on the show. Despite her success in ROH, a wrestling veteran does not believe she is ready for TV yet.
Speaking on an episode of his Drive Thru podcast, Jim Cornette said that Starkz is just a kid with bad posture who also does not have a good physique. He noted that she might do well on the Indies but questioned if she is ready for national TV yet.
“Billie Starkz… She’s a kid. I don’t know she’s ready for national TV yet. She has poor posture, she stands with her head drooping over, is it scoliosis, I don’t know. She needs to stand up straight. But the point is, you know, Billie Starkz right now, 20 years old or however old she is, she don’t have much of a tan, she don’t have much of a physique, she’s not very old, she’s not full-grown yet, she might do good on the indies, but do you put her on national TV as a prodigy? And the answer is, no you don’t, ’cause she ain’t,” said Cornette. [From 01:33 to 02:15]
It will be interesting to see what’s next for Starkz in AEW.
