AEW rolled out the red carpet for Sting at Revolution 2024, but there was a different plan for the Icon\'s final entrance as a professional wrestler.
In the main event of AEW\'s pay-per-view, Sting and Darby Allin retained the AEW World Tag Team Championships against Matthew and Nicholas Jackson. This win means that Sting has ended his AEW career undefeated.
After the show, Sting spoke passionately to the fans in attendance and was grateful for all the support he has been shown during his retirement tour and throughout his professional wrestling career.
A Different Entrance for Sting
For Sting\'s entrance, the legend\'s sons Steven and Garrett Borden accompanied their father to the ring. Steven was dressed in the red and black of nWo Wolfpac era Sting while Garrett wore the Surfer Sting attire worn at Great American Bash 1990.
The presence of the brothers made the match extra special but this entrance was nearly different. In an interview with ComicBook.com, Steven explained that he was originally going to portray the black and white \'Crow Sting\' fans are most accustomed to.
\"The plan actually until the very end... was for me to just do Crow Sting. So Garrett was going to be Surfer, I was going to be Crow.... There was never contention over who was going to do what.\
Steven added that it was Darby Allin who pointed out that Sting was already in his black-and-white attire and believed the Revolution show proved the perfect time to mix things up.
\"Darby actually made a point to my dad maybe a week or so before the match going, \'well, you know, don\'t you think if Garrett\'s going to be Surfer, Steven\'s going to be Crow, and then you\'re also going to be Crow this is an opportunity to mix it up a little bit?\'\
