Swerve Strickland: Sting Means Everything To AEW And AEW Means Everything To Sting

Swerve Strickland discusses Sting’s final match.

Swerve Strickland previews Sting’s final match in wrestling.

At AEW Revolution on Sunday evening, Sting will wrestle his final match in professional wrestling as he will team with his protoge Darby Allin to defend the AEW World Tag Team Championships against The Young Bucks.

While speaking to Q93 in a recent interview, Swerve Strickland was asked why people should buy the pay-per-view, with Swerve focusing on Sting’s final match.

“AEW Revolution is the culmination of Sting, the legend, The Icon, his career, over 40 years of wrestling in this business. Out of anywhere, this man could be anywhere in the world. But he chose to be with us in AEW in Greensboro, North Carolina, at the Colisseum on Revolution to end his career. That means everything to AEW and AEW means everything to him. The last three or four years that he’s dedicated to AEW and pro wrestling, I feel like Tony Khan has done that man right. He’s done AEW an incredible service, and he’s done the business of pro wrestling an immense service for everything that he’s done, and we welcome you to order the pay-per-view to truly watch this man go out, on the last night of his career. You know, face off to the Young Bucks with Darby Allin. Darby Allin, another foe of mine that I’ve had for the last, I’d say, six, seven years in pro wrestling. I’ll be watching closely behind the curtain as they go out there and they kill it with the Young Bucks for the AEW World Tag Team Championships. You know, first of all, seeing the AEW World Tag Team Championships main event is awesome.”

Sting and Strickland have previously faced off before at AEW All In last year in a tag team coffin match also involving Christian Cage and Darby Allin.

Strickland is currently scheduled to challenge for the AEW World Championship at Sunday’s pay-per-view.

Elsewhere in the same interview, Strickland noted that all free agents will be targeting AEW. You can read more here.
