Tony Khan Says Sting Is Always Open To Returning To AEW, Especially If Darby Allin Needs Anything

Sting made his return to AEW TV at AEW WrestleDream, helping Darby Allin in the main event against Jon Moxley.

Speaking at the AEW WrestleDream media scrum, Tony was asked about AJ Awesome about Sting’s appearance.

“Sting is still part of AEW and a big part of the family. He’s been away from AEW on-screen, but we’ve seen Sting and he visited us in Philadelphia. We did something off-screen with Sting. It was very awesome for us to see Sting backstage and have him back appearing in the ring. I had talked to Sting about coming back for something special like this and he was always open to returning to AEW, especially if Darby ever needed anything. The connection between those two is really special. It’s a real thing. They built a bond that is really special inside the ring, but also outside the ring, they have a really close bond. Those two are really close. There is no show business at all to it. It’s a really authentic thing. If Darby ever needs anything, we know we can depend on Sting. For him, if there was ever a question Darby would be in trouble, he was not going to hesitate to step in,” he said.

“The Icon” actually appeared at AEW All In 2024, helping Darby after a casket match against Jack Perry.
