Some of the most legendary names in pro wrestling descended on Greensboro, NC last night to watch the final match of the Icon known as Sting.
In the main event of the show, Sting and Darby Allin retained the AEW World Tag Team Championships against Matthew and Nicholas Jackson, who with their heel term have ditched their Young Bucks moniker. This win means that Sting will end 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.
Wrestling Legends at AEW Revolution 2024
Given the influence of Sting’s career on pro wrestling, it was fitting that some legends of the mat made the trip to Greensboro to support the legend. In the crowd during AEW Revolution 2024, fans could spot Magnum TA, Nikita Koloff, and Scotty Riggs.

Ric Flair was also at AEW Revolution 2024. Flair has been a key component of Sting’s retirement tour since joining AEW last year. Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat and Lex Luger were also reported to have been in attendance.
What’s Next?
During the AEW Revolution media scrum, Sting made clear he’s done in the ring and does not want to be a manager or agent. Sting said that Tony Khan has spoken with him about staying on with AEW in some form but nothing has been worked out yet.
The AEW World Tag Team Championships have been vacated now that Sting has retired from the ring. A tournament will determine the next team to hold the gold.
