Sting’s son pays a heartfelt tribute to The Icon ahead of his final match at AEW Revolution 2024
The son of legendary AEW star Sting paid a heartfelt tribute to The Icon en route to his retirement match at Revolution 2024.
In 2023, Sting revealed that he would wrestle his final match at the Greensboro Coliseum. Sting and Darby Allin are set to defend their AEW World Tag Team Titles against The Young Bucks at the pay-per-view.
The rivalry between the two teams became personal when Matthew and Nicholas Jackson led a vicious assault on the newly crowned tag team champions on the February 7, 2024 episode of Dynamite. The Young Bucks brutalized Allin and Sting with baseball bats, and even busted open the former TNT Champion.
Shockingly, the All Elite Wrestling EVPs even laid their hands on the 64-year-old veteran's sons, Garrett Lee and Steven Jr. This prompted the former Insane Icon to cut a haunting promo on the Bucks, vowing retaliation and promising them the fight of their lives.
Taking to Instagram recently, Steven Borden Jr. penned a moving tribute to his father. He asserted his respect for the WWE Hall of Famer and for his unparalleled work in pro-wrestling.
Steven Jr. further thanked Sting on behalf of himself and his siblings for his parenting and values, and concluded with a touching message for the legendary performer.
