Sting will still be taking convention bookings after 2025 but will not be appearing in his full costume.
In March 2024, Sting retired from the ring with his final match taking place at AEW Revolution. He went out with a victory, teaming with Darby Allin to defeat The Young Bucks. Sting still remains part of AEW despite his time in the ring being over. He has signed a multi-year licensing deal with the promotion.
Sting — who lives in Texas — is expected to be in attendance at AEW’s All In pay-per-view this July. The show is being held at Globe Life Field in Arlington.
