Sting will wrestle his final match when he teams with Darby Allin to defend the AEW World Tag Team Championships against The Young Bucks in a Tornado Tag Team match at tonight’s AEW Revolution 2024 pay-per-view event in Greensboro.
During a recent appearance on “Q93 Radio,” Swerve Strickland weighed in on Sting’s retirement match and his impact on AEW.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On Sting’s last match at AEW Revolution: “AEW Revolution is the culmination of Sting, the legend, The Icon, his career, over 40 years of wrestling in this business. Out of anywhere, this man could be anywhere in the world. But he chose to be with us in AEW in Greensboro, North Carolina, at the Coliseum on Revolution to end his career. That means everything to AEW and AEW means everything to him. The last three or four years that he’s dedicated to AEW and pro wrestling, I feel like Tony Khan has done that man right.”
On what Sting has done for AEW: “He’s done AEW an incredible service, and he’s done the business of pro wrestling an immense service for everything that he’s done, and we welcome you to order the pay-per-view to truly watch this man go out, on the last night of his career. You know, face off to the Young Bucks with Darby Allin. Darby Allin, another foe of mine that I’ve had for the last, I’d say, six, seven years in pro wrestling. I’ll be watching closely behind the curtain as they go out there and they kill it with the Young Bucks for the AEW World Tag Team Championships. You know, first of all, seeing the AEW World Tag Team Championships main event is awesome.”
On a recent edition of the “In the Kliq” podcast, Swerve Strickland discussed AEW signing top free agents like Mercedes Mone and Kazuchika Okada.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the rumors of AEW signing Mone and Okada: “It’s like adding the top free agents to your NFL team. you can’t be upset about that, you can’t be mad about that. The best of the best of our generation. Two of the best. If the rumors are true and they are coming over, and that is the choice, and the contracts have been signed, and ink has been put to paper, then we’re building our true dynasty. AEW is now a dynasty. We have the best prospects of the future in pro wrestling right now.”
On AEW investing in the future: “I think one of the worst things you can do as a fan base is talk about the now and really dwell on the now instead of truly investing in the future. that’s what AEW is doing. That’s what I think we’re doing better all around,100%. Our future looks incredible.”
