In professional wrestling, few names evoke as much awe and respect as Sting. The iconic Stinger is poised to conclude his illustrious career at a much-anticipated event at AEW Revolution in March. This monumental occasion will witness Sting teaming up with the dynamic Darby Allin to take on the formidable duo, the Young Bucks, in a match destined to be etched in the annals of wrestling history.
AEW World Champion’s Pledge about Sting
Amidst the buzz surrounding Sting’s farewell, the current AEW World Champion, Samoa Joe, recently shed light on the possibility of Sting pursuing another shot at a World Championship. In an exclusive interview, Joe expressed his openness to granting Sting another opportunity to compete for the ultimate prize.
According to Joe, “100%, I would always give the Stinger a shot at the World Championship.” He lauded Sting as one of the most iconic figures in wrestling history, acknowledging the significant impact Sting has had on the industry.
A History Steeped in Rivalries and Partnerships
The camaraderie between Samoa Joe and Sting has a rich history, marked by moments of rivalry and partnership. A pivotal moment occurred during Bound for Glory 2008, where Sting dethroned Joe as the TNA World Champion. Intriguingly, both wrestling legends also shared membership in the Main Event Mafia during a period of their careers.
Sting’s 26 appearances for AEW have showcased his reluctance to engage in singles matches, opting for tag team or multi-person bouts. As he approaches retirement on 3 March, it seems unlikely that the 64-year-old veteran will deviate from this pattern. However, the allure of one more shot at the ultimate prize might be tempting for Sting.
Should Sting express the desire for another World Title opportunity, Samoa Joe stands ready to facilitate it. Joe’s admiration for Sting’s career and contributions to wrestling adds weight to the possibility of a grand finale for the Stinger. The convergence of legends at AEW Revolution promises a spectacle of epic proportions. Whether Sting’s final match concludes with a shot at the World Championship remains to be seen, but the possibility adds an extra layer of excitement. As we await the historic event, the synergy between past and present, embodied by Sting and Samoa Joe, serves as a proof of the timeless allure of professional wrestling.
