Darby Allin says teaming with Steven Borden would be a full circle moment.
Following his cameo at AEW Revolution earlier this year, Steven Borden began training for a wrestling career with his father Sting's protogé, Darby Allin.
While speaking to WFFA in a recent interview, Darby commented on how training Steven has been going, highlighting what training with him entails.
"He's doing really good. It's funny because he's never had any, like, When it comes to wrestling, he's never had the itch to be like, I want to be a pro wrestler. So he did that spot in the Sting's Last Match at Revolution where he splashed one of the young bucks in the corner. Then he just said, Dad, I want to do this. He's got a good job. He's got a wife. He's got a kid. At 32 or 33, to get that wrestling, like, ugh, I want to do this. Sting never thought his son was going to do that. So it's like, all right, man. If you're going to do this, you have to do it right. You have to put everything into it. You've got to train your butt off. Because we don't want to come here and people are like, oh, it was just a handout. Sting's son just got a handout. He wasn't really that good in the ring, but he's Sting's son, so we'll give him the pass. No, when he has his first match, I want the people to know, wow, he looks right at home there. he's going to miss a step. Because there's a lot of handouts in wrestling. Sting doesn't want his son to have a handout. I don't want his son to have a handout. So we've got to do it right. In Darby Allin's training at my house, I have a ring at my house. It's a little unconventional. We have a lot of crazy challenges outside the ring that we do where we shoot, have him run around the yard, we shoot him with a paintball gun, try to build the pain tolerance to an all-time high."
Darby was then asked about possibly teaming with Steven when he graduates from training, with Darby stating it would be a good full circle moment.
"I would love to. It's like a full circle moment. He didn't have to team with Darby, but he wanted to. And then just to give his son what he gave me, that would be kind of a cool moment."
Darby Allin is scheduled to challenge for the TNT Championship at AEW All In when he faces off with Jack Perry for the title.
Elsewhere in the same interview, Darby spoke about Sting being backstage at recent episodes of AEW Collision. You can read more about that here.
