On Wednesday night’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Sting made his entrance from the rafters during the main event segment where he saved Ric Flair and Darby Allin from an attack by the Young Bucks.
As many of you know, an entrance from the rafters is controversial due to Owen Hart’s tragic passing at Over the Edge 1999.
According to a report from Fightful Select, AEW and Tony Khan reached out to Martha Hart while preparing for the spot to ask if she’d be okay with it taking place. It is said that Hart “gave her blessing” for it to happen.
In other AEW news, Roderick Strong recently appeared on the “Insight” podcast to discuss a variety of topics, including being heavily involved in the “Devil” storyline between Adam Cole and MJF. Strong loved the storyline, saying,
“I loved it. Obviously, that whole situation was so big for my career. The opportunity to not have to wrestle my way to get people’s attention the whole time, that was fantastic. To be able to work with Adam, that’s my dude. My favorite parts of my career are with him. Out of it, to create an opportunity for Matt and Mike and Wardlow, that’s super cool. Matt and Mike really haven’t had an opportunity to do anything like that or get that kind of attention on that kind of level.”
He continued, “There was so much good that came from it and it’s one of those things that I feel was very necessary for my career and all the guys involved, and I think this next year is going to shape up to be the best one.”
Roderick Strong vs. Orange Cassidy for the AEW International Championship will be taking place at Sunday’s AEW Revolution 2024 pay-per-view event.
