‘The Icon’ Sting shocked the wrestling world at AEW Revolution. Tonight’s AEW Revolution featured the professional wrestling legend diving off a balcony through the tables. The 62-year-old plays an essential role in Tony Khan’s company and is the mentor of Darby Allin.
However, his insane jump off from a great height was a callback from his time in the WCW in his early wrestling days. In addition, wrestling fans have gone crazy with what Sting pulled at AEW Revolution tonight.

The young wrestlers in this match were sidelined when Sting delivered a splash over Andrade from the top of a balcony. However, considering Sting’s age, it appears that he took more on his body than needed.
After the Revolution PPV, All Elite Wrestling hosted a post-interview show for the media. The 62-year-old Sting expressed his views on his latest match.
The former WCW Champion was asked about his physique and recovery routine after the AEW Revolution performance. “I have to train and do everything completely different than I did. And it takes me a lot longer to recover after these matches,” Sting said.

The wrestling veteran will take some time to recover from his Revolution PPV match. Although during the post-show interview, he did not mention a specific duration for his recovery. Sting taking a break from the AEW programming would be a great thing.

However, this would put Darby Allin to disadvantage when his mentor, Sting, would not accompany him to the ring. Nevertheless, we wish the legend a smooth recovery and hope to see him back in the ring soon.
