AEW fans loved Sting’s performance in his tag team match together with Darby Allin at Double or Nothing! Ever since he made his debut with All Elite Wrestling, fans have been wondering how the former WCW and WWE star would fare in the new promotion. The legend has been able to keep his strong look thanks to a cinematic match at a previous pay-per-view, but Double or Nothing was his first in-ring performance in six years. Taking on Scorpio Sky and Ethan Page, Sting really surprised fans with his performance in the match.

It’s certainly more than fans had expected to see from the performer who’s now in his sixties, and now they can’t wait to see what Sting and Darby Allin do next going forward.
