Wrestling veteran Sting competed in his first live match since 2015 at the Double or Nothing PPV and after the bout, he not only received praise from fans but his fellow wrestlers as well.
According to reports from PWinsider, the Icon received a ‘huge pop’ from the wrestlers backstage after he returned to the locker room following his bout.
The people within AEW were said to be impressed with the 62-year-old Sting’s performance during his tag team match at the big show.
The wrestling icon made his AEW debut in December 2020, marking his first appearance on TNT since the final episode of WCW Nitro in 2001.
Sting aligned himself with Darby Allin. The former WCW star wrestled his first match for the promotion when he teamed with Allin to face Team Taz in a cinematic street fight at Revolution in March earlier this year.
The duo then started a feud with the team of Scorpio Sky and Ethan Page which led a match between the two on the company’s latest PPV this past Sunday.
Sting won this match for his team after hitting the Scorpion Death Drop on Sky. He received praise from fans for his performance in the match despite his age.
