Sting said, “That would be pretty awesome for me. I love to do something different than just standard wrestling matches. So I tend to like these types of matches.”

The wrestling veteran will take some time to recover from his Revolution PPV match. Although during the post-show interview, he did not mention a specific duration for his recovery. Sting taking a break from the AEW programming would be a great thing.

However, this would put Darby Allin to disadvantage when his mentor, Sting, would not accompany him to the ring. Nevertheless, we wish the legend a smooth recovery and hope to see him back in the ring soon.
