Following an iconic final match at AEW Revolution, Sting officially hangs up his boots. A recent development has surfaced regarding the future of the AEW Tag Team titles he left behind.
AEW Revolution saw the thrilling retainment of the AEW World Tag Team Championship by Sting and his partner Darby Allin, taking the victory over The Young Bucks. In the aftermath of this event, AEW President Tony Khan declared that the championship belts would be vacated, hinting at a competition for the newly open titles.
According to wrestling journalist Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, via Fightful Select, this outcome was predetermined weeks before the match with plans to keep The Young Bucks within reach of the title scene.
Sapp reports on how crucial it was for AEW leadership, particularly Tony Khan, to ensure Sting concluded his wrestling career on a high note, as a victor and a champion. Khan has been vocal about his respect for Sting, and it was a significant priority to highlight Sting’s last match at AEW Revolution, especially since he influenced the choice of his final opponents.
Moreover, Fightful’s report reveals that the AEW Revolution event was deliberately relocated from an original midwest venue to a location befitting Sting’s retirement send-off. As of Sapp’s report, there is no expectation for Sting to continue with additional appearances in AEW, as he expressed no desire to take on a managerial or agent role following his in-ring retirement.
