Since Sting has signed with AEW, he’s been aligned with Darby Allin. As a result, Sting has wrestled four matches with all of them being tag team bouts with Allin.
Darby said to Chris Van Vliet on Insight that he convinced the WWE Hall of Famer to wrestle in front of a live crowd again at AEW Double or Nothing, taking on the Men of the Year (Scorpio Sky & Ethan Page).
“Me and Sting have grown so much together outside of what people have seen on TV. Our personalities outside of the ring, we’ve come so close and the fans don’t see that part. Originally, he was supposed to come in for some cinematic matches and I went to his house in Texas where he had a ring set up and we started rolling around and training and I convinced him to actually wrestle in front of a live crowd. Nobody gets to see those moments behind the scenes. It’s just us talking. ‘You got this. I’m training with you and seeing what you’re doing, let’s fucking do it.’ Double or Nothing against Scorpio Sky and Ethan Page meant a lot because we never thought it would happen,” said Darby. “He gives other people confidence and it’s cool that I can help go, ‘You got this.’ It’s cool to do that in all aspects of life.”
