We have received word from Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasso saying the Street Fight match between Sting, Darby Allin and Team Taz was pre-taped and will be broadcasted as a “Cinematic” style match. Here is what Barrasso had to say about the match:
“AEW Revolution note: The Team Taz-Darby Allin/Sting Street Fight was filmed ahead of time and is said to be a massive success.
The match highlights Sting while ensuring he worked in as safe of an environment as possible; allowed Ricky Starks and Brian Cage to have some star-making moments; and gave Darby Allin — who had a chance to apply his film school background — more chances to be a daredevil.”

In this case, there is no denying that WWE's loss is AEW's gain. The failure to use the legendary Sting in a similar role, especially after proving in 2014 and ‘15 that he was still a legitimate attraction, is a considerable blunder for Vince McMahon. (3/3)
