AEW Star Sting (61)

Despite announcing his retirement from pro wrestling during his WWE Hall of Fame induction speech, Sting (61) decided to join AEW and come out of retirement last December.

The WCW Icon made his debut in AEW following a match that featured Cody Rhodes & Darby Allin against Powerhouse Hobbs & Ricky Starks at Winter Is Coming.

On December 3, AEW announced that Sting had officially become an All Elite.

The 61-year-old former WCW and WWE superstar competed for the first time since coming out of retirement in a tag team match where he teamed up with Darby Allin to take on Brian Cage and Ricky Starks in a street fight at Revolution 2021. It was Sting's first match in nearly six years. The Stinger and his partner came out victorious.

Sting now has a multi-year contract with AEW as he walks steadily towards his 62nd birthday on March 20. Despite his age, his tag team partner Darby Allin ensures that the WWE Hall of Famer is in good physical condition.

Darby spoke about a recent incident with Sting that showed him that The Icon is 'good to go' during an interview with TalkSport last January.

"We were walking around Jacksonville the other day. There was this six-foot fence. I jumped the fence and I told Sting 'I'm going to take some photos' because we were looking at some weird stuff in Jacksonville. I was like 'I'm going to take some photos for you of this weird building' and he's on the other side of the fence that's locked up. And he's like 'what, you don't think I'm going to jump this fence?' He climbs up and he jumped the fence. So I'd say he's good to go!"
