Tony Khan made a bold claim regarding Sting's AEW run.
The Stinger first signed with AEW in 2020. Since then, there has been no looking back for The Icon. He formed an amazing tag team with Darby Allin and the duo were unstoppable in the ring, complementing each other perfectly.
Throughout his AEW run, the Icon remained undefeated which made for a great comeback story, given his abysmal WWE run. After spending a great couple of years in AEW, the Icon announced recently that his retirement match would take place at AEW Revolution 2024.
