Sunday’s AEW Revolution 2024 pay-per-view event will feature Sting & Darby Allin vs. The Young Bucks in a Texas Tornado Match that will see the babyfaces defend the AEW Tag Team Titles. It will also be Sting’s retirement match.
Allin spoke with Shakiel Mahjouri about the retirement match. He said,
“Everything (involving Sting’s retirement match was designed by Sting). Yeah. With the Bucks, everything… It’s really awesome if you really, really, really think about it that the fact that this company is letting this man go out on his own terms and his way with his vision, because there’s a lot of places that will straight up be like, alright, you’re retiring but we’re gonna make sure that you wrestle this guy and it could be a guy you have no interest in wrestling, and then the fact that you have to tuck your tail between your legs and be a nice, little good boy and get a paycheck and wrestle somebody that you have no desire to wrestle. We’re talking about your career, your life’s work. It’s baffling to me that people are such little b*tches. But yeah, anyways, Sting, he’s doing it his way, he’s doing it his way and it’s amazing and it’s awesome that AEW’s giving him that.”
