Sting out with an injury ahead of AEW Double or Nothing 2022
The official AEW Twitter handle recently posted that Sting is suffering from an injury ahead of the Double or Nothing pay-per-view.
Sting and Darby Allin recently appeared on Dynamite to help out the Hardys against the Undisputed Elite. After Jeff Hardy was defeated by Adam Cole, the latter's faction joined the ring to initiate a beatdown on the two brothers. However, the segment soon turned into a brawl as The Icon and his disciple joined the fray.
At one point, Sting's leg was trapped in a steel chair to set him up for a stomp by Kyle O'Reilly. This left the 63-year old veteran in visible pain afterwards.
In a tweet by AEW, it was explained that The Icon was not cleared for travel, and hence will be missing the Fan Fest Meet & Greets at Double or Nothing.
"Due to injury last week, @Sting has not been cleared to travel & will unfortunately not be at this Saturday’s #AEWDoN Fan Fest Meet & Greets. For fans who purchased tickets to see #TheIcon, Watch your inbox for information on refunds."
