Sting comments on Ric Flair joining him in AEW.
Sting announced that he would have his last match at AEW Revolution, which typically takes place at the beginning of March. Sting won't be alone in his journey as Ric Flair, who was presented as Sting's gift on last Wednesday's AEW Dynamite, will be beside him.
Speaking to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Sting commented on Flair joining him in AEW.
“I wanted to finish earlier, maybe in December,” said Sting. “But now that Ric is here with me, I want to go longer, all the way to Revolution.
“When Ric came out and I heard his music play, it hit me, had this flashback, and it made me emotional. Ric is the guy who put me on the map. We’ve traveled around the world together, and Ric helped make me. Now he’s going to finish with me. After all the travel, all the matches, all the press slams, all the chops, and all the woos–woooo!–I experienced the same feeling on Dynamite this past week with Ric that I did on that final Nitro. Except this time, it was so much more positive.”
Sting commented further, "All I can say for now is I want people to walk away and say, ‘Wow, what an ending,' I’ll be three weeks away from turning 65 at that point. I want to leave people with a memory that will mean something.”
Flair and Sting wrestled against each other in the last match in WCW Nitro history.
Before Sting gets to his last match at AEW Revolution, he'll team with Darby Allin and a mystery partner against Christian Cage, Luchasaurus & Nick Wayne at AEW Full Gear. Fans can check out the current lineup for the show by clicking here.
