Sting has inked a new deal with AEW.
Sting retired after his match at AEW Revolution 2024, where he and Darby Allin defeated The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) to retain the AEW World Tag Team Championship. He made an appearance at AEW All In, where he saved Darby Allin from Jack Perry and the Young Bucks.
Speaking with The David Difference at the 58th Annual Cauliflower Alley Club Reunion (via Kayfabe Friends), Sting was asked to comment on what was next for him.
“I signed a multi-year deal with AEW, obviously not to wrestle anymore, but it’s like a licensing deal, a legends deal if you want to call it that. So I’ll do appearances with them on and off, depending on what they want and all. I’ve done real estate, I did real estate before I ever was a pro wrestler, so I’ve always loved real estate. A lot of people say, ‘Oh, are you a real estate agent?’ No, I’m not an agent. I’m an investor. I was flipping houses before before flipping houses was a term. So I made money in real estate before wrestling, so I’m doing that again, and I love it," Sting said.
As of this writing, there is no word on whether Sting will return to AEW programming.
In August, Darby Allin said that Sting had been at recent AEW Collision tapings. Check out his comments here.
