Update On Sting's Future With AEW After Retirement

Don't expect to see Sting back on AEW television anytime soon. As he recently hung up his boots, it seems that there should be some time in between ahead of his return for special appearances.

While his future remains up in the air, an update has emerged on what could the fans expect. PWInsider has reported that he could make special appearances. However, the exact timeline is unknown and he is likely to appear sometime down the road.

Sting had competed in the final match of his decorated career at last month's AEW Revolution. The veteran had joined forces with Darby Allin and squared off against The Young Bucks with AEW Word Tag Team titles up for grabs. Sting managed to showcase some age-defying moves and had a triumphant outing that night. He finished his AEW run with a flawless record and has since kept his fans waiting about his next move.

It was back in 2015 that Sting suffered a neck injury against Seth Rollins at Night of Champions and it seemed that the injury would end to his career. It was soon labeled his final match. However, after signing with AEW in 2020, things took a turn for him, and 'The Icon' has since managed to overcome the barriers and exceeded expectations as his legendary career culminated on his terms.

Sting was offered to work beyond AEW Revolution 2024 by Tony Khan, who was aiming to feature the veteran at AEW All In London 2024. But, the legend was well aware of the physical toll on his body. He made it clear that wouldn't push his body beyond his capacity and decided to retire.

Now, the latest report is certainly building anticipation for Sting's return as the speculation about his future continues.
