We are currently on the Road to AEW Revolution. The final stop is of course the Revolution pay-per-view, but it will also be the final match for WWE Hall of Famer Sting. Recently, AEW CEO and President, Tony Khan shared his thoughts on The Icon’s retirement.
During an interview with the New York Post, the AEW President opened up about the WWE Hall of Famer and his retirement tour. Khan revealed that Sting and he worked together to come up with a plan for his retirement.
“I wanted to know if Sting believed he could participate next year, and I knew he felt like he might not have another year left in him when we were at Wembley this year. But he was still feeling very good and he wants to stay feeling very good through his retirement,” Tony Khan said.
Khan also revealed that Sting was not confident about wrestling for another whole year.
“He told me as we approached this ticket on sale that he did not believe he could make it another year in wrestling and have the best chance for a happy and healthy retirement,” Khan said. “He’s doing great right now, and he wants to keep it that way. He plans to keep beating people up and keeping himself healthy.
“It’s been two and half years, you’ve won every match you’ve wrestled, wouldn’t it be cool if you had a chance to finish it undefeated [for three years],” Khan said. “Somebody could either stop you to take it away from you. The idea that every match he wrestles somebody is trying to take that unbeaten [streak] on the way [out] is exciting.”
