  • AEW Loading Up ‘Big Business’ Dynamite With Darby Allin vs Jay White

    AEW Loading Up ‘Big Business’ Dynamite With Darby Allin vs Jay White

    Darby Allin walked into the AEW Revolution press conference not knowing that he already had a match lined up at Big Business in Boston on March 13.

    Before Allin and Sting made an unexpected appearance at the Revolution media scrum, Tony Khan revealed that he already had plans in place for the daredevil Darby. 

    First, Khan made it known that the AEW World Tag Team Championships would now be vacated after Sting and Darby defeated The Young Bucks to retain the gold and that a tournament would be held to determine the new champions.

    Secondly, Tony Khan then made it known that Darby Allin would be a big match at Big Business as he’ll take on Switchblade Jay White in singles action.

    Much to Tony Khan’s surprise, it was almost immediately after when Sting and Darby Allin showed up at the scrum. Tony told Darby that he just revealed his upcoming match, but Darby Allin had no clue who his opponent was. Sting and Allin addressed the media for about 15 minutes until Khan dropped the news to Allin that he’d be facing White. Despite having a stitched-up bloody back due to the insane ladder and glass spot, Allin was still eager to go one-on-one with Jay White.

    Allin mentioned how he purposefully showed up to the scrum to show everyone that he was okay and doing fine after the insane bump he took. Sting jokingly noted that took his fair share of table crashes in his last match too, but showed appreciation to The Young Bucks and Darby Allin for the effort everyone gave.

  • Tony Khan Reveals Future Plans For AEW Tag Team Titles Following Sting & Darby Allin’s Victory

    Tony Khan Reveals Future Plans For AEW Tag Team Titles Following Sting & Darby Allin’s Victory

    Sting indeed had a great send-off at AEW Revolution and his final match came off with a victory. This means he and Darby Allin are still the AEW World Tag Team Champions. Now Tony Khan has revealed what the future holds for those titles after Sting’s retirement.

    Speaking with the media during the AEW Revolution press conference, Khan noted that after Allin and Sting retained, the Tag Team Titles will be vacated. 

    Not only that, but Khan noted that a tournament will be held to determine the new champions. The AEW President said that it would all unfold in the month of March, coinciding with NCAA March Madness.

    “We are going to vacate the AEW World Tag Team championship. So going forward, there will be a tournament — I’ll talk more about that, there will be more to reveal, a lot of exciting tournaments, there will be more than one bracket to fill out in March”

    Sting & Darby Allin vs. The Young Bucks rightfully closed out the evening in the main event spot in Greensboro, NC, but the fans were also treated with another tag bout earlier on that had a lot of ties to the location. 

    FTR, two talents from North Carolina, took on Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli, who happened to pay homage to the legendary Road Warriors by coming out in spiked shoulder pads. Moxley and Castagnoli will likely receive a top seed in the tournament considering they got the victory over Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler.

    As for Sting and Allin, their tornado tag battle with The Young Bucks created a lot of buzz, not just because of the significance of the match but because of how brutal the fight itself was. 

    All men in the bout took some significant bumps. The most notable of it came from Allin who leapt from a massive ladder only to come crashing down on a pane of glass. The spot brutally cut up his back, requiring him to receive several stitches. Though despite this spot, Darby has confirmed that he will be taking a break from AEW for a significant undertaking later this month. 

    You can check out the full media scrum below:

  • Darby Allin Is “Still Alive” After Insane AEW Revolution 2024 Spot, Will Climb Mt. Everest This Month

    Darby Allin Is “Still Alive” After Insane AEW Revolution 2024 Spot, Will Climb Mt. Everest This Month

    Darby Allin will begin his most dangerous stunt to date later this month when the AEW star attempts to reach the summit of the imposing Mt. Everest.

    Last May, Allin shared his intentions to climb Mt. Everest, in the latest escalation of his out-of-the-ring death-defying stunts. The following month, he declared that not only would he scale the mountain, but he would proudly place a flag bearing the logo of AEW on the summit. 

    Darby Allin on Mt. Everest

    At AEW Revolution 2024, Allin and Sting retained the AEW World Tag Team Championships in the main event of the show. Allin, as expected, held nothing back in the match and displayed the caution-to-the-wind attitude that has made him a hit with fans. One particular dangerous spot saw Allin sent off a ladder through panes of glass. 

    On the AEW Revolution 2024 media scrum, Allin felt it was important to let fans know he’s still alive after the spot. 

    “I wanted to come here to let people know I was still alive. I was in the middle of getting stitched up, but I wanted to show everybody that the doctors are on top of it, I’m still breathing. I feel fine, and as long as Flair, Steamboat, Sting, the Bucks, everybody else feels fine, then we’re beautiful.”

    Allin then discussed his plans to climb Everest and said he will start for the summit within a matter of weeks.  

    “I talked to the doctors. They gave me a doctor’s note to climb Mount Everest. I leave on March 27.”

    The Dangers of Everest

    According to Himalayan databases, at least 322 people have died attempting to scale the mountain since records began in 1922. Climbers who perish on the mountain are often left there, due to the risks related to removing the body, a sign of their dedication to climbing, and as a somber reminder to others of the dangers of nature. 

    One landmark on Everest is ‘Green Boots,’ which is the body of an unidentified climber on the Northeast Ridge route who is noticeable for his brightly colored boots. While never officially identified, it is believed to be the body of Tsewang Paljor, an Indian member of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police expedition who died as part of a 1996 climbing disaster. 

    One part of the mountain has been named ‘Rainbow Valley’ in reference to the bodies of deceased climbers still wearing bright thermal clothing.

  • Behind the Scenes: AEW’s Blueprint for Sting’s Revolution 2024 Retirement Match

    Behind the Scenes: AEW’s Blueprint for Sting’s Revolution 2024 Retirement Match

    AEW Revolution went off the air, with Sting and Darby Allin celebrating as champions. That was quite a moment, but there is more in store. The sad part is that Sting’s legendary career is certainly over at this point.

    Sting has officially retired from wrestling, wrapping up his career as a tag team champion. You can click here for highlights from the big match.

    Plan After Sting’s Retirement.

    A new report from Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select shed new light on what is next. Of course, the company needs to deal with their tag team title situation, but this is all a part of the plan.

    Currently, the plan is to resolve the tag team title situation promptly. However, Darby Allin isn’t anticipated to retain the titles with a new partner. AEW sources indicated to the outlet that the decision for the Young Bucks to emerge without securing victory was made weeks ago, but they were intended to remain closely involved in the tag team title scene.

    All Elite Wrestling and Tony Khan were insistent on Sting concluding his career on a high note, holding a championship. The management at AEW has consistently emphasized the importance of appropriately honoring Sting.

    AEW Revolution Main Event

    Although it was teased that Sting’s last match wouldn’t main event Revolution, the idea of Sting headlining and main eventing the show had been in the works virtually since the moment of his retirement announcement. He also reportedly played a significant role in selecting the Young Bucks as his final opponents, as previously reported. The event’s location was also changed from the originally planned Midwest location to better accommodate Sting’s retirement, although efforts are underway to rectify this for Midwest fans.

    During the recent event, there were several individuals vying to obtain one of the bats hanging backstage as a memento. Additionally, some talent was getting items signed by Sting at last week’s show.

    Sting’s Special Guests

    Notably, Lex Luger, Ricky Steamboat, Scotty Riggs, and several others were present backstage to support Sting and were not kept out of view before the AEW Revolution show.

    Following Sting’s indication to his sons, they walked alongside the ramp to the backstage area. They returned after the show for Sting’s off-air speech. Tony Khan was brought out and thanked by Sting, with the entire roster joining on the ramp to bid farewell to Sting. Darby jokingly mentioned that he had to leave for the hospital.

    As of right now, there have been no announcements regarding additional dates for Sting. It appears that he is now officially retired, but you also can never say never in pro wrestling. 

  • AEW Revolution 2024: Sting Picks Up Win In Final Match To Retire A Champion

    Sting wrestled his final match at AEW Revolution, and it was quite a historic event. The North Carolina crowd was into the match for the entire contest, and there was a lot to take in.

    Sting received an amazing entrance, first with a short movie called The Final Showtime, where The Icon sat in an empty movie theater and watched some career highlights, and then both Surfer Sting and Wolfpac Sting received love during his final entrance on pay-per-view. That was only the intros.

    The Match

    The Young Bucks took on Darby Allin and Sting in the main event with the AEW World Tag Team Titles on the line. This match pulled no punches, spilling out into the arena, and weapons were also heavily involved in the tornado tag team match.

    Darby Allin took a brutal bump through glass off a ladder, and that left Sting to fend for himself. Ric Flair also got involved, as he tried to protect him. Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat, who was guest timekeeper, also got into the action there.

    Sting hulked up against The Young Bucks, and he tried to close the deal, but could not pull off a win with the Scorpion Death Drop. Then Sting kicked out of an EVP Trigger, and then he kicked out at the one-count after a second EVP Trigger.

    The Icon was ready to take more abuse, and the crowd was all behind him. The Young Bucks then set Sting up for the TK Driver, which is the re-named Meltzer Driver, but Darby Allin broke up that move.

    The Finish

    Suddenly, Sting got a Scorpion Death Drop on Matt Jackson, and he kicked out. Darby Allin, who was covered in blood from that glass spot, hit a Coffin Drop on Matt before Sting latched on a Scorpion Death Lock for the win.

    Sting won the match for his team, and will retire 1/2 of the AEW World Tag Team Champions. It was a fitting end to a historic career, and now Sting will ride off into the sunset. After the match, Sting gave a speech, where he wondered how many stitches Darby Allin would need after lacerating his back as he did with that glass stunt. Then, the event ended with fans chanting, “You still got it.”

  • Darby Allin On Sting Going Out “On His Own Terms”

    Darby Allin On Sting Going Out “On His Own Terms”

    Darby Allin has learned a lot from Sting and part of it may be going to the beat of your own drum.

    Allin was interviewed by SHAK Wrestling and was asked how much say Sting exactly had in determining all the happenings in his final match this Sunday at AEW Revolution.

    “Everything. With the Bucks, everything, and that’s…It’s really awesome, if you really, really think about it, that the fact that this company is letting this man go out on his own terms, in his way, with his vision.

    “Because there’s a lot of places that will straight up be like, ‘Alright, you’re retiring, but we’re gonna make sure that you wrestle this guy, and it could be a guy you have no interest in wrestling in,’ and then the fact that you have to tuck your tail between your legs and be a nice, little good boy and get a paycheck and wrestle somebody that you have no desire to wrestle, we’re talking about your career, your life’s work. It’s baffling to me that people are such little bitches. But yeah, anyways, Sting, he’s doing it his way. He’s doing it his way, and it’s amazing, and it’s awesome that AEW’s giving him that.”

    Darby will tag up with Sting at Revolution to face Matthew & Nicholas Jackson at Revolution and The Young Bucks got a little sample of that early on the go-home show of AEW Dynamite. Sting came down from the rafters and took out the brothers after they attacked Darby Allin and Ric Flair.

  • Special Entrance Planned For Sting’s Final Match at AEW Revolution 2024

    Special Entrance Planned For Sting’s Final Match at AEW Revolution 2024

    ‘The Icon’ Sting will be going out in style this weekend at AEW Revolution, with a special entrance planned for his last match.

    In October 2023, Sting announced that he would retire in 2024 at the Revolution pay-per-view. It was at Revolution 2021 that the Stinger made his wrestling debut for AEW, after arriving in the company the previous December. 

    Special Entrance For Sting

    For his final match, Sting and Darby Allin will put their AEW World Tag Team Championships on the line against Matthew and Nicholas Jackson. Sting was initially against the idea of winning the titles (or even challenging for them) but was talked into the idea. 

    AEW is expected to go all-out (pardon the pun!) for Sting’s final match and give the wrestling legend a proper send off. Speaking to Fanatics View, Darby Allin spoke about plans for his tag-team partner. 

    “I got a special thing planned for Sting’s final entrance that I’ve been working on. So, we’ll see how everything plays out in Greensboro.”

    AEW Revolution 2024

    AEW Revolution will take place on Sunday, March 3, from the Greensboro Coliseum from Greensboro, NC. Here is how the card currently stands. 

    • Sting and Darby Allin (c) (with Ric Flair) vs. The Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson and Nicholas Jackson) (AEW World Tag Team Championship)
    • Orange Cassidy (c) vs. Roderick Strong (with Matt Taven and Mike Bennett) (AEW International Championship)

  • Darby Allin Recounts Cody Rhodes First Introducing Him To Sting

    Darby Allin Recounts Cody Rhodes First Introducing Him To Sting

    Darby Allin is grateful for his three years with Sting and got the opportunity to express as much in the written word.

    One of the pillars of AEW was given a platform to speak his mind on “The Player’s Tribune” and starts it off by when he first got paired with “The Man They Call Sting” and how it didn’t click with him at first.

    “When I got paired with Sting, I didn’t know what to expect. It’s funny — for weeks they had me up in the rafters, and I wasn’t sure why. You’d think I would’ve put two and two together, but I didn’t. I was just like, ‘Sit in the rafters? OK cool.’ But then at some point someone said, ‘Yo….. you know why we’re doing this, right? Sting’s coming.’ And I just remember thinking how crazy that sounded. Like, I couldn’t process it. STING? And in his first show back…. he’s going to have a staredown with ME? Haha what the f***.”

    Allin notes that it was Cody Rhodes who implored Darby to be introduced to Sting before they had a moment in the ring together. He recalled when “The American Nightmare” took him to meet the WWE Hall of Famer.

    “He was like, ‘Alright. Sting’s here. I want you to meet him before you go out there.’ Then he walked me over to Sting’s trailer. It happened so fast, I barely had time to remember how nervous I was. But there was nothing to be nervous about. We started talking through the segment, and it was actually wild: there was no ego from him, no big-timing, no This is how it’s gonna happen, kid. None of that. If anything, it was the other way around. He was asking me how it’s gonna happen, and if I was OK with this, this and this, and if everything was cool.

    “We’re talking about a guy who’s headlined some of the biggest shows ever, made shitloads of money, been on top longer than I’ve been alive. He’s showing up for this massive return. And his main concern is that I’m feeling comfortable. A 27-year-old nobody who he’s probably thinking jacked half his look. I was just like, WHAT IS HAPPENING. THIS IS INSANE. HOW IS STING SO NICE.”

    Sting is not only genuinely a nice person, but he’s been notoriously nice for AEW as a major star. Sting, along with Darby, are set to square off against The Young Bucks in what is more than likely the main event of AEW Revolution on March 3 in Greensboro, NC.

  • Darby Allin on his Cody Rhodes promo: “He’s the reason I’m in AEW”

    Darby Allin on his Cody Rhodes promo: “He’s the reason I’m in AEW”

    AEW star Darby Allin recently explained why he mentioned former AEW VP and current WWE star Cody Rhodes during his recent promo on AEW Dynamite.

    Darby Allin and ‘The Icon’ Sting are set to team up for latter’s retirement match against The Young Bucks at AEW Revolution pay-per-view next month. Ahead of the highly- anticipated battle, Darby Allin grabbed the attention as he namedropped Cody Rhodes on the February 14 February edition of AEW Dynamite. The reference took fans by surprise and the former TNT Champion has explained his decision to mention WWE Superstar in hyping the upcoming bout.

    Darby Allin gives credit to Cody Rhodes 

    During a recent interview with Digital Spy, Allin addressed his decision to mention ‘The American Nightmare’ though the latter is not signed with AEW anymore.

    “That’s easy because he’s the reason I’m in AEW. You think back to my debut, I wrestled him at Fyter Fest and we went a 20-minute Broadway draw. For him to take a chance on me that early… I was relatively super unknown still, I was never really the guy on the independent scene. He did that. You’ve got to give respect where respect is due. I feel very strongly on paying homage to how I got here because I never thought I was going to get here.”

    Allin also addressed online criticism after his he cut the promo but he highlighted the importance of his history with the company and mentioned Rhodes’ contribution in his career and in the company overall. He said:

    “I only pay attention to what I think, I really don’t care about what anyone else thinks. You’ve just got to listen to yourself about things. I really felt it was important for me to tell my part of the story leading into that match and not just be this second-rate character going into the match. I have a lot of things I wanted to say to the Young Bucks and I said it and so be it. I just want to go out there and speak my mind on things.”

    Allin will team with Sting to defend the AEW Tag Team Championship against The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) at AEW Revolution pay-per-view on March 3 at Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina.

  • Sting’s Final Match Set For AEW Revolution

    Sting’s Final Match Set For AEW Revolution

    AEW is preparing for Sting’s final match, marking the end of his iconic career. The Stinger has done a lot in his career, and now we know who he will wrestle at the big AEW pay-per-view.

    Sting’s Final Match

    Sting & Darby Allin will defend the AEW World tag team titles against The Young Bucks at AEW Revolution on March 3, 2024, at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina.

    This event will mark AEW’s inaugural Pay-Per-View in North Carolina. It was revealed a while ago that Sting will wrestle for the last time at the event.

    Sting and Darby Allin won the AEW Tag Team Titles from Big Bill and Ricky Starks, giving them their first title run in AEW. They will now defend those titles at AEW Revolution, and they have a big match planned.

    Nick and Matt Jackson turned heel in a big way, making themselves known to Sting and Darby Allin. This week on AEW Dynamite, they made their upcoming match official.

    The Young Bucks confirmed during AEW Dynamite that they will wrestle Sting and Darby Allin at AEW Revolution. That match will be for the AEW Tag Team Titles. The Jackson Brothers seemed very confident about their chances.

    What’s Next

    Sting impressed many people with performances in AEW. Few saw a flying Stinger in his later years, but he certainly gave his all for Tony Khan’s company. Now, he is set for this one final match, and odds are he will make it an iconic performance.

    SE Scoops will have continued coverage of this story, and everything else involving AEW Revolution, as more information is made available. 

  • Darby Allin Reveals Two Of His Goals In AEW

    The ever-fearless Darby Allin will begin his quest to climb Mount Everest this April. Upon his return, though, Allin will be focused on fulfilling a pair of goals in All Elite Wrestling. 

    During a recent interview with Denise Salcedo, Allin revealed the two professional goals he’s aiming to reach after he conquers Mount Everest. Given that Allin is already a former TNT Champion, and one-half of the current AEW Tag Team Champions, Allin believes the next step would be to move toward the company’s top prize — the AEW World Championship.  

    “So to be the face of a company, I believe you have to be World Champion, so that is the next logical step when I get back from Everest because Everest is almost like a vision quest in a way,” Allin said. “I’m going to go dig deep down inside the mountains and find out what it’s really like inside of here.”

    Allin Wants ‘The American Dragon’

    Outside of his championship aspirations, Allin is also keen on facing ” The American Dragon” Bryan Danielson before his full-time wrestling run ends later this year. 

    Despite being in the same company for over two years, Danielson and Allin have yet to share a ring together.

    “Wrestling-wise, before this man’s career is done: Danielson. That’s the next thing.

    It has nothing to do with us being from the northwest, it’s just his work ethic. He’s another man, his career was supposed to be over. He came back and he’s better than ever. So those are my two things that I want to hit in AEW.”

  • Darby Allin: “I Don’t Tell Sting To Jump Off Those Balconies. That’s All Him.”

    Last week saw a notable title change in the main event of AEW Dynamite, with Darby Allin and Sting defeating Ricky Starks and Big Bill to claim the AEW Tag Team Championships.

    This win is particularly relevant given that Sting is set to wrestle in his retirement match alongside Allin at AEW Revolution on March 3, meaning that “The Icon” may now be heading into his final match as a champion. 

    Before the duo gear up for Revolution, Allin took a moment to soak in the glory of becoming one-half of the new AEW Tag Team Champions.

    “It’s been an amazing week,” Allin told Denise Salcedo. “I’m a little banged up after Wednesday, but when am I ever not banged up? The big thing about it though to me is having Sting’s career end this way. It’s so insane because I remember my first year in professional wrestling, I saw him essentially have to retire back in 2015 with the neck injury.”

    Pro wrestling is full of thrill-seekers who enjoy pushing their bodies to the limits, but Darby Allin is in a class of his own. He is planning to climb Mount Everest in April and regularly risks life and limb outside the ring, let alone what he does on television for All Elite Wrestling.

    Sting Is The Crazy One

    Sting is set to end his decades-long career next month at AEW Revolution. He and Darby Allin will put their titles on the line against AEW Executive Vice Presidents Nicolas and Matthew Jackson, professionally known as The Young Bucks.

    Nobody could have expected his 3-year run with AEW would produce so many memorable moments. He’s ending his career on his own terms, with Darby Allin at his side. Sting’s final run in AEW will be remembered for his insane dives.

    Can Sting and Darby Allin win gold before Sting retires?

    Allin makes it clear that he’s not pushing Sting into any of his crazy stunts. He says the 64-year-old icon hasn’t needed any help with his high-risk offense.

    “Then fast forward now and convincing him to get back in the ring, it’s pretty cool to see how far we’ve came,” Allin says of the partnership with Sting. “The fact that he’s so crazy.. he could have just rode off into the sunset, played it safe, but no.

    Trust me when I say this, I don’t tell him to jump off those balconies. That’s all him. It’s awesome to see how much he’s willing to push it because he’s got nothing to prove.”

    Sting and Allin’s victory last week marked Sting’s first title reign of any sort since 2011, when he captured the TNA World Heavyweight Championship for a fourth time.

    For Allin, this marks the beginning of his first tag team reign in AEW, as he’s previously held the TNT Championship on two occasions. 

  • Sting Was Against AEW World Tag Team Championship Win

    Sting Was Against AEW World Tag Team Championship Win

    Sting is a champion in wrestling mere weeks away from the end of his career, but he would have been happy ending his career without this title win. 

    The Icon and Darby All won the titles on this week’s Dynamite, ending the reign of Big Bill & Ricky Starks. The former champions had held the titles since the October 7, 2023, edition of AEW Collision, where they dethroned the record-holding two-time champions FTR. 

    Sting Against World Tag Title Win

    Sting was adamantly against winning the AEW World Tag Team Championships for a long time, Fightful Select reports. The WWE/TNA Hall of Famer was also against the idea of competing for them. Some people in AEW argued that from their point of view, Sting and Allin’s undefeated record as a team meant they had to get a title shot. Tony Khan recently announced they were introducing its ranking system. This system aims to provide a sense of legitimacy to the company’s matches by ensuring those who win the most receive championship opportunities. 

    The decision for Sting and Allin to win the AEW World Tag Team Championships “was made well in advance” and Sting went along with it. Sources said that the Icon was “all smiles” after the match backstage. This victory marks Sting’s first championship victory since 2011. 

    What’s Next? 

    After their victory, Sting and Darby Allin were attacked by the Young Bucks, and the two teams are expected to face off at next month’s Revolution pay-per-view. Fightful adds that The planned Revolution location was changed from the midwest to Greensboro to fit Sting’s send-off. 

    Why did the Young Bucks attack Sting and Darby Allin on this week’s Dynamite… 

  • Young Bucks Addresses Their Attack On Sting & Darby Allin

    Young Bucks Addresses Their Attack On Sting & Darby Allin

    The Young Bucks recently explained their actions on this week’s AEW Dynamite as they brutally attacked Sting and Darby Allin.

    On last night’s edition of AEW Dynamite, Sting and Darby Allin defeated Ricky Starks and Big Bill to capture the AEW World Tag Team Championship. This marks ‘The Icon’s first title run in the promotion.

    The show also received an overrun for the match, which saw thrilling spots, including Sting and Allin hitting Big Bill with multiple Stinger Splashes in the corner. Allin also hit a Coffin Drop on Big Bill to the outside.

    In the final moments, Sting executed a Scorpion Death Drop on Starks and captured the tag-team titles. 

    However, their celebration didn’t last long as the Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) brutally attacked the new champions.

    Young Bucks explain their actions

    In a digital exclusive, The Young Bucks commented on their decision to attack the new champs. Apparently, Matthew felt guilty. However, Nicholas noted that they did what they had to do.

    Matthew Jackson: What a bummer, man, that Sting and Darby forced our hand and made us do that. That was terrible, I feel awful. Sting’s a freaking legend, and Darby’s a sweet dude.

    Nicholas Jackson: He’s an icon. But you know what, as EVPs, we have to do the tough things. We have to make the tough decisions. It’s just business, and we had to do it. There’s no one else in this company that would do what we just did.

    “MJ: We gotta protect what’s ours, guys. I hope you understand.

    NJ: This is our baby.

    MJ: Sting, I hope you feel better.

    NJ: This isn’t Sting’s baby.

    MJ: Darby, I hope you feel better.

    NJ: He’s just happy making a payday. We had to deal with business, and business was that. We had to take care of business.

    MJ: We messed up our suits, too. What the hell, guys?

    NJ: How the hell are we gonna get this blood out of our $5,000 suits?

    MJ: Just really disappointed in you, guys. I called you a role model employee, Sting. Maybe I was wrong. This is what it took to get your guys’ attention? I just wanted a conversation. I just wanted to talk like men. Look at us, we’re covered in your freaking DNA now.

    NJ: Business is business.

    MJ: Not cool, guys. Not cool.”

    We will now have to wait and see how Sting and Darby Allin react. It seems that Matthew and Nicholas might go after the AEW Tag Team titles yet again.

  • Sting & Darby Allin Win AEW Tag Team Titles On Dynamite This Week

    Sting & Darby Allin Win AEW Tag Team Titles On Dynamite This Week

    Sting will wrestle his final match at AEW Revolution on March 3rd. Fans are gearing up for that big night in pro wrestling history, and it appears that Sting and Darby Allin will enter into that match as champions.

    Sting & Darby Allin Win AEW Tag Team Gold

    Big Bill and Ricky Starks put their AEW World Tag Team Titles on the line against Sting and Darby Allin during the February 7th episode of Dynamite. This match was the main event of the night.

    AEW also received an overrun for the match, pitting the two teams against each other in a competitive tag team match. The crowd was also very excited to see the AEW World Tag Team Titles defended in such a high-stakes situation.

    The match was full of good spots, including Sting and Allin nailing Big Bill with multiple Stinger Splashes in the corner. This was before Allin nailed a Coffin Drop on Big Bill to the outside.

    Later on, Sting kicked out of a spear from Ricky Starks after he hit the exposed turnbuckle. Starks also hesitated a bit before landing that move. Eventually, Sting nailed a Scorpion Death Drop on Starks and won the titles.

    They didn’t get to celebrate long, because the Young Bucks jumped them to end Dynamite with a beat down this week.

    Sting’s Memorable Moment

    Sting has won a lot of titles before in his career, but this marks his first title run in AEW. It is fitting that Sting and Darby Allin will have that run together, because the entirety of Sting’s time in AEW has been alongside the former TNT Champion.

    SE Scoops will have more updates on Sting’s final weeks as an active pro wrestler. This was definitely a big night for his career.

    Darby Allin Shuns Valuable Advice From Ric Flair

    AEW superstar Darby Allin recently revealed that he isn’t listening to pro wrestling legend Ric Flair’s advice. 

    Allin has a reputation for involving himself in high-risk spots in his matches. He has captivated the fans with his dangerous stunts that thrill the fans. However, suffering career-threatening injuries look inevitable. He has suffered injuries from time to time but that isn’t stopping him anytime soon. 

    Pro wrestling takes a toll on the physical health of the performers and it is no secret. Veterans of the business have dealt with complications at the latter stage of life and WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair, who has experienced the same, shared a piece of advice for Allin. 

    Darby Allin won’t listen to Ric Flair

    During a recent interview with Rock 106.1, Darby Allin revealed that though he appreciates Ric Flair’s advice to slow down he won’t listen to him. Allin says that he feels good physically and doesn’t see himself stopping. He said: 

    “Ric Flair, a couple weeks ago, he came up to me and is like, ‘Darby, you need to slow down.’ I’m like, ‘Wait, what?’ ‘You’re crazier than Mick Foley.’ I’m like, ‘Getting advice from Ric Flair?’ What’s funny is, people don’t know how great I feel physically. I feel amazing, like nothing hurts.“

    “DDP also, he’s like, ‘We have to put you in a lab. They have to test you out and see what’s going on because you’re not human.’ I feel amazing. I won’t stop doing it. Sorry for anybody trying to give me advice, all the people out there telling me to slow down. I can’t and I won’t.”

    Darby Allin and his tag team partner ‘The Icon’ Sting have their sights set on the AEW Tag Team Championships. On the latest edition of AEW Dynamite, the duo challenged the champs Big Bill and Ricky Starks, who eventually accepted the challenge.

    Sting and Darby Allin Challenge For The AEW Tag Team Championships

    We’re closing in on Sting’s final match and his opponent(s) are still technically up in the air. On the Homecoming episode of Dynamite, the Young Bucks returned and seemingly challenged Sting and Darby Allin for AEW Revolution. The match has yet to made official. 

    In the meantime, Allin and Sting have some important business to take care of. On Dynamite, Allin told a story of how he flew to Texas when Sting signed with AEW. He wrestled Sting in his own ring that he has in his garage. Within minutes, he told the veteran he still had it. After winning 27 matches together, Allin confirms that “The Icon” still has it. 

    Allin pointed out that the rankings are back and thus they are the number one contenders for the tag team titles. Allin asked Sting if he wanted to end his career as tag team champions. Sting replied that he was “all in!” (as an AEW ALL IN graphic was on the screen behind him).

    Later in the night, Ricky Starks and Big Bill accepted their challenge. Starks pointed out that it was fitting that he would be facing them since Sting’s first match back was against himself and another partner (Brian Cage). “It’s very fitting that now, me and the best partner I have will be the end of you. You are not making it to Revolution, my man.” 

    The match has been made official for Wednesday, February 7 in Phoenix, Arizona. 

  • Darby Allin Recalls Almost Suffering A Horrific Injury On Dynamite: “We don’t play it safe”

    Darby Allin Recalls Almost Suffering A Horrific Injury On Dynamite: “We don’t play it safe”

    AEW superstar Darby Allin recently talked about almost suffering a broken neck at AEW Dynamite ‘Homecoming’ edition at Daily’s Place.

    Allin has made a name for himself with his breathtaking spots in his matches. He has captivated the fans with his high-risk maneuvers that thrill the fans. However, with it comes a line between a memorable moment and a career-threatening injury. He has managed to escape neck injury, which has put several stars on the shelf for good.

    The January 10th episode of AEW Dynamite saw a Texas Tornado Match in the main event, featuring Sting & Darby Allin against Konosuke Takeshita and Powerhouse Hobbs. The babyface pair secured the win but at the expense of some nasty bumps.

    A spot during that match saw Takeshita and Cage throw Allin across the ring by his hands and feet. The former TNT Champion hit the mat on the other side of the ring, catching his head under the bottom rope.

    Darby Allin comments on his risk moves

    Speaking on KSDK to promote AEW in St. Louis, Darby Allin recalled the incident and noted that AEW stars try to deliver the unexpected every week. He further revealed that he almost broke his neck due to the horrific spot.

    “The thing with AEW is, you can expect the unexpected. I mean that, I’m not just trying to sell anything. Every week, there is crazy shenanigans going on. Last week, I almost broke my neck. This week, we have so much crazy stuff. Literally, it’s something different every week. We don’t play it safe. I was in town, I saw this arch, and I kind of want to jump off of it.”

    Allin is a risk-taker and he looks far from stopping himself from showcasing his daredevillry whether it’s inside or outside the squared circle.

  • Darby Allin Was ‘Messed Up’ After Botched Spot During Homecoming AEW Dynamite

    Darby Allin Was ‘Messed Up’ After Botched Spot During Homecoming AEW Dynamite

    AEW fans are well aware that their injured list is growing more by the week. It appears that Darby Allin is a big banged up after this week’s Homecoming Dynamite in Daily’s Place.

    Darby Allin’s Recent Botched Spot

    Darby Allin is known for embracing risks, both inside and outside the wrestling ring. His daring moves and extracurricular ventures extend to dangerous spots during matches and extreme sports activities like stunts and skateboarding.

    The January 10th episode of AEW Dynamite featured a Texas Tornado Match in the main event, pitting Sting & Darby Allin against Konosuke Takeshita and Powerhouse Hobbs. The babyface duo pulled down the victory in the end, but it wasn’t without some big bumps.

    One spot during that match saw Takeshita and Cage hurl Allin across the ring by his hands and feet. The former TNT Champion smashed against the other side of the ring, catching his head under the bottom rope in the process.

    Bryan Alvarez reported on the F4Wonline Board that Allin suffered an injury during the match, particularly from a neck bump into the ropes. The extent of the injury and potential impact on Allin’s availability for upcoming events remains uncertain, and we hope for his swift recovery.

    “Actually, I was told the neck bump into the ropes really messed Darby up in that match.”

    Sting also took a pretty bad bump to end that match. He tried to do a Scorpion Death Drop on Will Hobbs through two tables, but they only hit one of them. 

    Since they didn’t have proper placement on the hardware, they missed the first table completely, sending Hobbs and the WWE Hall of Famer through only one table. Sting also hit his head on the floor in the process, but he seems to be okay.

    What Happened Next

    After that match, Sting and Darby Allin took to the ring, where Tony Schiavone asked The Icon about his opponent for that final match at AEW Revolution. That is when The Young Bucks returned, sporting mustaches, to make their presence known.

    While it hasn’t been 100% confirmed by AEW yet, it appears that the Young Bucks will battle Sting and Darby Allin at Revolution.

  • New look Young Bucks return to confront Sting, Brodie Lee Honored at Dynamite Homecoming

    Wednesday was a big night for AEW. They celebrated five years as a company at Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Florida. Daily’s Place was AEW’s home during the pandemic era of wrestling. 

    Dynamite was filled with AEW Originals. The show kicked off with a former member of The Elite, Hangman Adam Page. What’s a homecoming show without an actual homecoming? 

    In the main event, Sting and Darby Allin defeated Powerhouse Hobbs and Konosuke Takeshita. Following their win, Tony Schiavone asked Sting who his final match would be against. Before he could answer, the familiar sound of the Young Bucks music hit. 

    Sporting mustaches and long jackets, the Bucks made stood on the stage and stared down “The Icon” and Allin. Allin seemed to welcome the challenge, motioning them to come down to the ring.  

    Since Full Gear, Brandon Cutler has been posting on social media on behalf of the Jacksons. Immediately following Dynamite, he posted that the return of the Young Bucks has increased backstage morale tremendously. 

    Sting’s Final Match

    Nothing has been signed as of press time, but the events that transpired on Dynamite indicate that Sting’s final match will be a tag contest, teaming with Darby Allin against The Young Bucks. 

    Whoever is standing across the ring from him that evening, it’s going to be a memorial occasion. AEW Revolution will takes place from the historic Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina on Saturday, March 3, 2024.

    Brodie Lee Honored

    The AEW Dynamite Homecoming was also a celebration of the late, great Mr. Brodie Lee. Lee’s time in AEW was brief, but made a lasting impression. Many fans associate the venue with Lee. All of his AEW matches took place there, save for the tapings at the Nightmare Factory early on during the pandemic.

    To honor Lee’s memory, his two handpicked wrestlers, Preston Vance (“10”) and Anna Jay (“99”) each competed in an 8-person match. They picked up the wins for their respective teams. 

    Vance wore the ring jacket that Lee gifted him along with an armband with his mentor’s name. Jay wore a Lee shirt. Adam Copeland was part of the team that faced Vance’s. He donned a Jon Huber Toronto Maple Leafs themed shirt and hat. 

  • Watch: CM Punk Recreates AEW Debut Spot In WWE MSG Match Against Dominik Mysterio

    CM Punk’s successful return to the ring saw the WWE Raw Superstar recapture some of the magic from his in-ring debut for AEW. 

    At last night’s WWE live event in Madison Square Gareden, Punk defeated Dominik Mysterio in his first match for WWE since January 2014. This match was Punk’s first bout of any promotion since AEW All In 2023 as he was fired just days after that show. Punk will face ‘Dirty Dom’ again at the upcoming WWE live event in Inglewood, California on December 30. 

    CM Punk Recreates AEW Spot

    Punk held nothing back during his match with the Judgment Day member, and even made reference to his AEW in-ring debut at All Out 2021. During one section of the match, Mysterio took to the turnbuckle and Punk sat up and laughed, replicating a spot from Punk’s match with Darby Allin three years ago. You can check out the spot in question below. 

    CM Punk’s Wardrobe Malfunction

    While CM Punk made an impactful return to the ring at the WWE MSG event, his ring attire for the show was somewhat underwhelming. Rather than his typical Chicago-inspired trunks, Punk wore plain back trunks for the match. As Wrestle Purists noted before the show, the trunks Punk had planned to wear did not fit, meaning he had to don his back-up trunks which were the plain black ones fans saw at this show.

    Bryan Danielson vs. Brian Cage

    Danielson struggled to get offense in at the beginning due to Brian Cage simply throwing him around. Cage hit Bryan with many German suplexes. He worked fast and constantly relied on his strength. Bryan was able to transition some of his power moves into submission moves and deliver some moves of his own. Cage tried to go for a powerbomb symphony, but after the first one, Bryan was able to roll through for the pin.

    Winner: Bryan Danielson by pinfall.

    • After the match, Brian Cage attempted to break Danielson’s arm to get the money offered by MJF. MJF came out to the ring and had Cage twist Bryan’s arm in the chair and sent him into the ring post. MJF got in the ring to beat down a defenseless Danielson.

    Details on Darby Allin Filming a Pilot for His New Show

    AEW TNT Champion Darby Allin has given some new details on his television show as he finished filming the pilot for the series.

    The show was announced last year as it replaced “Rhodes to the Top,” which had aired on TNT but was put to an end once Cody and Brandi Rhodes left the company. 

    TNT contacted D Allin about his own TV show, which he discussed when speaking with Tony Hawk and Jason Ellis ‘Hawk vs Wolf Podcast’. Allin mentioned that a pilot for his television show has been filmed and that he wore a dog’s shock collar while trying to skateboard during the filming. 

    Due to his interests outside of the ring of doing various stunts, there has been speculation the show may be like the “Jackass” franchise, where he puts his body on the line.

    The Show

    “I was wearing one (electric shock collar) when we were filming the pilot for my TV show and we were trying to do some skating with the shock collar and stuff like that and I was like, this is impossible. I couldn’t imagine putting that on a dog. Crazy.”

    Allin won the TNT Title for a second time to kick off the year and has made three successful defenses against the likes of Mike Bennett, Juice Robinson, and KUSHIDA. Darby’s next scheduled defense is against Buddy Matthews this Wednesday.

    Keiji Muto Wins Final Match Under The Great Muta Persona

    The legendary career of the Great Muta has officially come to an end with the character’s final match this past weekend.

    Muta is the most famed and successful character of Keiji Muto, who debuted the character in the NWA in March 1989 as the kayfabe son of the Great Kabuki.

    The Great Muta would find success in New Japan Pro Wrestling and WCW and would become IWGP Heavyweight Champion in August 1992.

    Final Match

    For the past few months, Keiji Muto has been undergoing a retirement tour, with his 38-year career set to end next month.

    The legendary wrestler teamed with long-time rival Sting and fellow AEW star Darby Allin to defeat Hakushi, AKIRA, and Naomichi Marufuji.

    The match ended with Muta hitting a Shining Wizard knee on Hakushi for the pinfall win, after Sting and Allin had hit their own finishers.

    New TNT Champion Crowned – Promises Title Match to AEW Prospect

    Darby Allin has regained the AEW TNT Championship, and the face-painted wrestler didn’t wait long before offering a title match to one of the company’s youngest prospects.

    During this week’s Dynamite, Allin dethroned Samoa Joe to win the gold, ending the Samoan Submission Machine’s reign at 46 days.

    The closing sequence saw Allin throw Joe into an exposed turnbuckle and hit a Code Red and multiple Coffin Drops to get the win.

    This win marks Allin’s second AEW TNT title reign, as he held the title for 186 days (a record-long reign) after winning the gold at Full Gear 2020.

    Allin’s Title Defense

    AEW Dynamite went off the air with Allin celebrating his newly-won championship with Sting, who hoisted the young wrestler in the air to close out the show.

    After Dynamite finished taping, Allin brought Nick Wayne into the ring and promised him a shot at the TNT Championship once he finishes high school.

    Nick Wayne

    At 17-years-old, Wayne is the second-youngest name signed to an All Elite Wrestling contract, only being bested by ‘Negative One’ Brodie Lee Jr.

    Wayne is yet to compete for AEW due to his age, but has big plans for his future in the ring.

    Speaking to Andrew Thompson last April, Wayne said he’s ready to wrestle for AEW the moment he turns 18 and in some impressive foreshadowing, spoke about a match with Allin.

    “I hope it happens one day. Me and Darby have so much backstory behind us. You know, I was there for Darby’s first day of training. Yeah, he was trained by my father. I saw him about 4-5 times a week training. We have a really big story together.”

    Nick Wayne.

    Outside of AEW, Wayne has competed for GCW, DEFY, and PROGRESS among other promotions.
