During the week, AEW made an official announcement regarding the AEW All In: Texas PPV event for July 12th 2025 in Dallas, TX. Sting, who officially retired as an in-ring performer at the 2024 Revolution PPV, seemingly teased a return with the following message via Twitter/X…

“Hmmm… just down the road. I’ll be watching from ‘somewhere.'”

During an interview with WFAA, Darby revealed that Sting has been backstage at AEW events since retiring…

“Yeah. He’s been backstage at some of the Collisions. I keep telling him, you’ve got to come out and we’ve got to go mini-golf battle. You know, like his son, I’m helping train his son right now in wrestling, and I took the son mini-golfing, and I whooped his butt, and then I just asked Sting, does it run in the family to lose to Darby Allen in mini-golf? We’ll find out. He claims that he’s a mini-golf master, but he hasn’t pulled up to the course yet.” (quote courtesy of Corey Brennan)
