Steven Borden Jr., son of wrestling legend Sting, is being privately trained by Fred Rosser, formerly known as Darren Young in WWE.
Borden, 33, wrestles under the name Steven Borden, and has been actively working dark matches at AEW and ROH tapings.
In an interview with Paltrocast, Rosser describes training Borden as a 'personal project,' dedicating significant time to his development.
The coaching is pretty full-time with me, and I’m working with Sting’s son, Steven Borden, helping to groom him privately and helping him become all that he’s created to be inside the ring.
Steven Borden Jr. made his in-ring debut in October 2025 and has since gained experience at AEW Dynamite tapings on December 10, 2025, January 21, 2026, and February 4, 2026.
AEW President Tony Khan has emphasized that Steven Borden Jr.'s development is a 'huge priority' for AEW.
