Jon Moxley found himself in an unexpected predicament tonight at AEW WrestleDream. A WWE legend briefly came out of retirement and took him out during his high-stakes match at the pay-per-view. This would be none other than Sting.

Moxley was part of tonight's main event as he faced Darby Allin in an I Quit match. This was the culmination of a long-standing feud between the men. It was fitting since the animosity between them boiled over during last year's WrestleDream.

During the match, both men did everything they could to force the other to submit. They used various foreign objects and pushed each other beyond their pain thresholds. Eventually, Darby finally gained the upper hand, but before he could go any further, he was thwarted by the Death Riders.

This soon became a six-on-one assault as they cornered Allin and left him down for the count. They put him through several tables, and Jon Moxley even went as far as attempting to drown him by dunking his head in an aquarium. Unexpectedly, the one to come to Allin's aid was none other than his mentor, Sting.

The Icon had Jon Moxley cornered, and he had his metal bat in hand. The rest of Moxley's allies came to help, but Sting took them all out one by one. He then handed Darby his bat and let him get back to finishing his own business.

The veteran made sure that neither of the Death Riders could interfere, and even picked up Marina Shafir and carried her backstage. Darby Allin was left in the ring with Jon Moxley all by himself. After striking Mox with the bat, he hit him with a Stinger Dead Drop and locked him in the Scorpion Deathlock. This was enough to make Moxley say "I Quit." This marked an incredible end to a brutal feud.
