Sting shocked the sports-entertainment world when he made his in-ring return to wrestling at AEW a few weeks back. Although some fans were skeptical, fellow WWE Hall of Famer Booker T believes Sting has a worthy opponent in AEW with Chris Jericho.
Although younger stars like Cody Rhodes and Darby Allin are there, Booker thinks the Le Champion of AEW, Chris Jericho, will be perfect for Sting. Despite Sting’s age, he and Jericho could be perfect for each other inside the ring.
“That’s one thing about wrestling is that no matter how old you are, you can still be a character. Then Sting maybe 61, he can still go out there and go. He can still do a little something in the ring. How much? I think it really wouldn’t matter for him and a guy like Jericho. I really think they can go out there, pretty much, with smoke-and-mirrors, and tell a story,” Booker T revealed in his podcast.

Thanks to their experience, both wrestlers can tell their “story” better than anyone their age. The five-time world champion said, “With no disrespect to anyone, I think there is enough knowledge in their head to do smoke-and-mirrors and tell the story, even at the age Sting is right now. Even still at the age of Chris Jericho right now, I think, no disrespect.”
Chris Jericho is the best for Sting in AEW
In his match predictions, Booker even spoke about Jericho’s compatibility in the future match. With his three decades of experience, Jericho remains one of the best in the business.
“Chris Jericho, take nothing away from the guy. Over the years, he has learned what the game is truly all about. He’s like a walking encyclopedia as far as the wrestling game goes. So yeah, I could see that happening, and surely the fans of AEW would tune in to check that out. Without a doubt.”
