While there are several performers in AEW that Sting is very familiar with, there are even more with which he has never interacted at all.

Given his long spell as a headline act, many performers on the AEW roster will have grown up watching Sting on WCW Nitro. To a few, he may even be the reason they got into the wrestling business.

Having a presence like Sting backstage can only be a positive for AEW. However, there are also lots of exciting possibilities for Sting as an on-screen character too.

From confronting The Dark Order to facing off with MJF, and even having a storyline with Chris Jericho and The Inner Circle - there are many potential directions for Sting. All would make for great viewing.

In none of these scenarios would Sting be a lead in-ring performer, but his unique aura can add a big-time feel to each. It is also worth remembering that all would be fresh situations for the Sting character - allowing him to have a last major run of real significance.
