The WCW Icon had a chance to relive the glory of competing in Washington D.C., this week, the same place where he controversially defeated Hulk Hogan for the WCW Championship at Starrcade 1997.
Sting and Darby Allin defeated The Acclaimed (Anthony Bowens and Max Caster) in an incredibly hard-hitting tag team contest this past Wednesday night.
Soon after the match, Mr. Khan, Sonjay Dutt (producer), and play-by-play commentator Tony Schiavone joined the two face-painted stars in the ring for a promo segment.
AEW’s head honcho put Darby Allin over in front of the crowd before recalling Sting’s monumental night at Starcade 1997:
Sting then grabbed the mic and cut a heartfelt promo, in which he thanked Bryce Remsburg, who officiated his match this week.
The WWE Hall of Famer then sincerely thanked Mr. Khan for allowing him to rewrite the final chapter of his pro wrestling career:
Sting and Tony Khan even hugged each other in the ring, showing how much respect the two men have for one another.

Sting revealed how his match against The Acclaimed was controversial on AEW Dynamite
Furthermore, AEW star Sting shared an interesting bit that went down during his and Allin’s match against The Acclaimed. The 62-year old star called this week’s match as controversial as his WCW Championship win over Hogan back in the day.
Sting revealed that someone from the crowd yelled “That’s somebody’s Grandpa” at him when The Acclaimed had a numbers game on him. In response to that statement, The Icon stated that he took care of the business back in the day, and he took care of it again, two decades later:
AEW’s Sting visibly had the most memorable night of his wrestling career last night. Now that he and Darby are 6-0 in the tag team division, it would be interesting to see what the duo plan on doing next.
