A wrestling icon under the WWE and WCW banners made a surprising return at “AEW WrestleDream 2025.” During the “I Quit” match between Jon Moxley and Darby Allin, Sting made an unexpected appearance. Sting saved Allin from being drowned by Moxley, and he took out members of the Death Riders with his baseball bat.
Allin paid homage to the wrestling legend and his former tag team partner by forcing Moxley to quit by applying the Scorpion Deathlock. The match ended the “WrestleDream 2025” pay-per-view.

Sting’s In-Ring Retirement
Sting had his final professional wrestling match in the main event of “AEW Revolution 2024.” He teamed with Allin to defeat The Young Bucks, successfully retaining the AEW World Tag Team Championship in the process.
During the “All In London” PPV that same year, Sting made his first AEW appearance since the retirement. Much like he did at “WrestleDream,” Sting saved Allin from an attack. Jack Perry and The Young Bucks were attempting to set Allin on fire before “The Icon” arrived.
Sting made his AEW debut during a special “Winter is Coming” episode of “Dynamite” in late 2020. Sting prevented the now defunct Team Taz from further attacking “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes. His AEW debut took place nearly five years after he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
Many fans praised Sting for what he was able to pull off in the ring at his age during his AEW run. The wrestling great is now 66 years old, and his more recent appearances on AEW TV have been surprises. What’s next for “The Stinger” remains to be seen.
