Update on Sting’s AEW Role After Officially Retiring

WWE Hall of Famer Sting has shared an important update on his role after officially retiring earlier this year from AEW Revolution. Sting, a veteran in the world of professional wrestling, has had a legendary career.

The Icon wrestled in top promotions over the years from WCW, TNA, WWE, and AEW. He made a significant impact in all of these promotions. However, the WWE Hall of Famer decided it was his time to hang up the boots earlier this year at the age of 64.

At AEW Revolution, Sting joined forces with Darby Allin to defend their tag team championship against The Young Bucks, successfully retaining their title. The Icon had already announced that AEW Revolution would mark his last match in professional wrestling. The WWE Hall of Famer had a fitting send-off in his final match. However, after his retirement, reports surfaced about his plans to make special appearances.

This became a reality at AEW All In in London, held at Wembley Stadium. Sting’s last AEW TV appearance took place at the same event, where he saved his tag team partner Darby Allin from an attack by The Elite. Fans were surprised by Sting’s appearance, and he recently shared another significant update about his role in All Elite Wrestling.
