Sting’s journey with AEW commenced in December 2020, when he made a memorable appearance at “Winter is Coming.” His arrival served as a beacon of hope, coming to the aid of Darby Allin and Cody Rhodes against Team Taz’s Powerhouse Hobbs and Ricky Starks. Despite being 64 years old and having faced significant late-career injury challenges, Sting defied the odds by competing in 20 matches for the Tony Khan-led promotion.
As Sting’s retirement date looms on the horizon, fans now have four more months to savor the presence of this wrestling icon before he takes his final bow from the squared circle. It was a pleasure to see him wrestle all these years.
