‘The Icon’ Sting spoke to Paste Magazine ahead of his return to in-ring action at AEW’s Double or Nothing PPV event. The former WCW Champion will be teaming with Darby Allin to take on ‘All Ego’ Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky.
This will be Sting’s first in-ring match back since he was injured against Seth Rollins at WWE’s Night of Champions 2015 event. At AEW Revolution, Sting and Darby Allin teamed for a cinematic styled match against Team Taz, however it has been confirmed that this bout will be inside the ring, and Sting revealed to Paste how he’s preparing for the return to the squared circle.
“I’m trying to work a lot on mobility, that’s for sure,” Sting began. “I don’t recover as quick as I used to, either, so I have to really watch how I train, so I don’t overtrain. Because, I’m telling you, you just don’t recover the same.”

“I’m still feeling the effects of the powerbomb that I took from Brian Cage [in February 2021]. There are a few kinks I still have from that one” Sting continued. “Otherwise, I’m preparing the same,” he said. “It’s the same kind of stuff, I just have to think about when I do it and what intensity levels and all that.”
“I’m trying to get the heart rate up as much as I possibly can” Sting added, “so the stamina’s there to go with these young guys. Yeah, I’m getting ready — I am ready.”
