Speaking on K&C Masterpiece, Sting revealed that he recently underwent a knee cleaning.

"I just had surgery, six or seven weeks ago now, basically just a clean out on my very old knees. I've seen those that went through the physical therapy process with flying colors, did what they were supposed to do, and worked through the pain versus those who did not, and those who did not, they never recover, the game never comes back to them. I know that is of the utmost importance," he said when discussing Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle Terence Steele tearing his ACL. "For me, I had to do things differently in the ring, I had to prepare differently, train differently, think differently in the ring and come up with more innovative ways to accomplish my goal."

Sting last wrestled at AEW Full Gear, teaming with Darby Allin to defeat Jeff Jarrett & Jay Lethal.

AEW will hold its annual AEW Dynamite Winter is Coming event on Wednesday. Sting made his AEW debut at Winter is Coming 2020. Fightful will have live coverage of the show beginning at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
