"Maybe he goes to WWE right away" - Dolph Ziggler makes a surprising claim about AEW legend's future
Nic Nemeth (FKA Dolph Ziggler) is active on the podcast scene and routinely talks about the state of the business. The former WWE World Heavyweight Champion recently opened up about the future of former AEW star Sting.
The Icon wrestled his last match in the Jacksonville-based promotion at AEW Revolution, where he and Darby Allin successfully defended the World Tag Team Championship against The Young Bucks. During a recent episode of the Busted Open podcast, Dolph Ziggler opened up about Sting's stint in Tony Khan's promotion.
The former WWE Superstar revealed he was ''blown away'' by Stinger's performance in AEW. He also predicted that the former WCW World Champion could return to the Stamford-based promotion.
“Watching him [Sting] in AEW, amazing! I was blown away every week because there’s so many awesome young up-and-comers. There’s so many good people there doing things. And to see Sting going above and beyond every night, trying to do something extra special, that’s awesome, man! And maybe it doesn’t work out. Maybe he goes to WWE right away. You never know,” he said.
Nic Nemeth added:
“Maybe we never see him in AEW. Maybe he’s retired and done, or he’s working behind the scenes in WWE now. So however that worked out, I’m so glad it did the way it did, because seeing Sting in AEW that last year or two, oh my, [it was] so awesome to see!" [H/T: ewrestlingews.com]

That’s awesome, and a lot of people did think I was going to AEW, and I love a bunch of people in AEW; I love AEW; Tony’s freaking great. I was just weighing my options and figuring them out; I didn’t have a plan," he said.
