In an intense rivalry thus far, Sting and Allin have been feuding with Fox and Swerve Strickland for weeks. Taking things higher up a notch, the former decided to invade the wrestling school and attack Fox, sending a major statement.
In a viral video that’s circulating, we can see Allin shocking Fox by appearing in front of him. Sting from behind attacks Fox with his baseball bat, putting him to the ground before Allin finally delivers a devastating coffin drop, in the presence of the euphoric fans around.

While others expressed shock towards the incident that took place at the school.
They attacked him 2-on-1 in his school? Who does that?! I know Darby's a hoodlum, but it's so sad to see Sting attacking a younger man from behind. What kinda example is he setting to all the students around? 😭

God, people can complain about the build, the card, whatever, but I'm fucking stoked for matches like this one at All In. AR is going from Lucha Underground/indies to over 80k stadium show in just a few years. Legendary shit. Him and Swerve are going to kill it.
