Sting Makes AEW Debut on Dynamite, Signs Multi-Year Contract
December 2, 2020Winter has arrived in AEW.
Tonight on AEW Dynamite we saw a tag team match with the TNT Champion Darby Allin teaming up with Cody Rhodes to take on Powerhouse Hobbs and Ricky Starks. The match broke down towards the end with Brian Cage coming out and putting the odds in the favor of Team Taz. Dustin even came out to even the odds and it was not enough. After the three men were beating down the champ and the Rhodes.
The lights then went out and it started showing indie Daily’s Place. It then ultimately said ‘STING’ on the big screen and of course, out would come the former WCW World Champion Sting. Sting came down to the ring and Team Taz disappeared. Sting then walked around the ring getting in the face of Arn Anderson, Cody Rhodes, Dustin, and Darby Allin.

“THE ICON” STING MAKES DEBUT ON AEW DYNAMITE “WINTER IS COMING” EPISODE ON TNT
December 2, 2020 – “Winter is Coming” was already guaranteed to be the biggest episode of AEW DYNAMITE yet, but on a night packed with tremendous clashes, the debut of wrestling legend Sting took the world by surprise.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers ever, Sting’s jaw-dropping appearance sent electricity through the crowd at Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Fla., and throughout the wrestling world, when he stepped in the ring.
AEW has also confirmed tonight that it has officially signed Sting to a full-time, multi-year agreement.
“The surprise introduction of Sting was a great way to celebrate our biggest episode of Dynamite yet,” said Tony Khan, CEO and GM of AEW. “When AEW launched, I was ecstatic to bring wrestling back to TNT after a very long absence. Sting defeated the legendary Ric Flair in the final wrestling match to be shown on TNT for more than 18 years until the debut of Dynamite in 2019. Now, almost two decades later, it’s such a thrill to welcome Sting to AEW and bring him back home to TNT!”
