Greensboro, North Carolina – The city is abuzz with excitement as fans eagerly anticipate the highly anticipated AEW Revolution PPV at the Greensboro Coliseum. However, a controversial decision regarding Sting’s retirement match has left many surprised.
During the AEW Zero Hour pre-show, it was revealed that Sting’s retirement match, where he will team up with Darby Allin to defend their AEW World Tag Team Championship against The Young Bucks’ Matt and Nick Jackson, will not be the main event of the evening. Instead, the closing match of the night will feature a three-way AEW World Championship Match between Hangman Page, Swerve Strickland, and the current champion, Samoa Joe.
Sting, who initially retired in 2015 due to a neck injury, made a surprising return to active competition in 2021 when he began teaming with former AEW TNT Champion Darby Allin. The legendary wrestler announced his impending retirement late last year, with tonight’s match at the Greensboro Coliseum set to be his final one. The venue holds a special significance for Sting, as it was the site of many of his most memorable matches and is an esteemed NWA stronghold.
The decision to not have Sting’s retirement match as the main event of AEW Revolution has sparked discussions among fans and wrestling enthusiasts. While some expected the match to close the show, the choice to feature the World Championship Match as the final bout has added an intriguing twist to the event.
Despite not headlining the PPV, Sting’s last match is sure to be a poignant moment for all involved. His partnership with Darby Allin has captured the hearts of fans, and tonight’s match promises to be a fitting end to his illustrious career. As the countdown to AEW Revolution continues, anticipation is at an all-time high for what promises to be a memorable night of wrestling action.
