Sting received an unforgettable send-off into retirement from AEW. Tony Khan made sure his farewell at Revolution was as grand as it could be, marking the WWE Hall of Famers official retirement from the ring. While Sting has hung up his boots, his recent actions have shown hes not entirely opposed to making one-off appearances.
During the 2024 AEW All In PPV event, fans were treated to a surprise when Sting came to Darby Allins aid during an attack by The Elite. The unexpected return in front of the massive crowd at Wembley Stadium was a memorable moment for everyone in attendance.
Leading up to All Out, AEW President Tony Khan addressed Stings status with the company during a media session. While he confirmed that Sting remains part of AEW, Khan made it clear that Stings in-ring career has come to an end.
Khan further emphasized how Sting continues to play a key role in AEW, even though hes no longer competing in the ring. His presence in the locker room remains significant.
Since Stings retirement, his son, Steven Borden, has even started training to become professional wrestler. In fact, hes so dedicated that hes been staying in Darby Allins backyard to fully immerse himself in the process.
It remains to be seen how many more times Sting will make appearances in AEW, but while his wrestling career is behind him, fans shouldnt be surprised if he pops up for a few baseball bat shots when the time feels right.
