For the first time since he arrived in AEW (and the first time since his 2015 retirement), Sting took a thunderous bump on this week's Dynamite. "The Icon" arrived to confront Taz, Brian Cage and Hook for kidnapping Darby Allin last week. Taz goaded him into tossing away the bat and the WCW legend obliged, but the numbers game quickly caught up to him. Cage got ahold of him and planted him on the canvas with a jacknife powerbomb.

Sting initially retired in 2015 after suffering a career-ending neck injury while challenging Seth Rollins for the WWE Championship. He'll compete in his first match for AEW at the Revolution pay-per-view next month, taking on Cage and Ricky Starks in a Street Fight with Allin.

"The Icon" talked about what convinced him to jump to AEW last year during an AEW Unrestricted interview. At the time he said he was preparing for a cinematic match.

"I was pushing to get a cinema-style match with Undertaker," Sting said regarding his final months in WWE. "For probably a litany of reasons, it just wasn't going to happen. When Tony called and spoke with me, he said, 'Are you interested in doing cinema-style matches?' I said, 'Yeah, I am.' I'd like to come back and do that and not disappear with my tail between my legs. I don't have to go out on top, I'd like to go out in a positive light."
