#5 Best: Sting single-handedly wins Tornado Tag Team match for his team on AEW Dynamite
Sting and Darby Allin's incredible victory over 2.0 (Jeff Parker and Matt Lee) in a Tornado Tag Team match raised the bar for the show. The WCW legend undoubtedly became the star of the night in his first match on TNT for over two decades.
The show was initially supposed to open with Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston. However, Daniel Garcia and 2.0 assaulted them viciously and prompted their opponents to come out for the match. The bout delivered on the hype surrounding the special stipulation.
Both teams took their fight to the spectators' area, which saw 2.0 gain a numbers advantage due to the presence of Daniel Garcia. But Eddie Kingston emerged out of nowhere to take him out of the equation.
Parker and Lee dominated Darby Allin in the ring to carry the pace of the match. However, the whole complexion of the match changed once the former TNT champion tagged Sting in. Although the Icon took an earth-shattering powerbomb onto the table, his ''no-sell'' of the move gave goosebumps to anyone watching.
The former WWE Superstar then delivered a double Scorpion death drop to 2.0, followed by a double Scorpion Deathlock which prompted the opponents to tap out simultaneously.
AEW star Sting showed no signs of ring rust and silenced his critics with another remarkable performance. He's truly an inspiration for the entire AEW locker room.
