Sting returns during ‘I Quit’ match at AEW WrestleDream

Posted on by Josh Nason

Sting made his return to AEW during Saturday’s AEW WrestleDream, aiding former World Tag Team Champion partner Darby Allin in the main event ‘I Quit’ match against Jon Moxley.

After Moxley was attempting to drown Allin in an aquarium several times, the lights went out and the grey-haired and goateed Sting appeared with his bat in tow. He then choked out Moxley with the bat, hit PAC and Claudio Castagnoli, shattered the aquarium, and tossed the bat to Allin.

Marina Shafir then got in Sting’s face only to be carried to the back by “The Icon.”

Allin later used Sting’s Scorpion Deathlock (while Moxley was writing in a puddle of water and broken glass) to make Moxley say “I Quit.”

Sting’s last on-screen appearance came at 2024’s All In, freeing Allin from a coffin that the Young Bucks and Jack Perry were about to set on fire. He also appeared in a non-televised segment following an August AEW Collision from Philadelphia’s 2300 Arena to take part in an Eddie Gilbert tribute.

‘I Quit’ match official for AEW WrestleDream

The first match is set for next month’s AEW WrestleDream and it promises to be the latest violent chapter in a violent rivalry.

At the close of AEW Dynamite, Darby Allin, armed with a flamethrower, issued a challenge to blood rival Jon Moxley to an “I Quit” match for the Saturday, October 18 pay-per-view from St. Louis, Missouri. Moxley didn’t immediately accept but in a video shared on X later on, Moxley accepted in his own words (seen below).

Allin’s appearance came after AEW Women’s World Champion Kris Statlander turned down an invite to join the Death Riders, clotheslining Wheeler Yuta before escaping the scene and a probable beatdown. Allin then ran off the group with the aforementioned flamethrower, leading to the challenge.

The two are coming off a violent and bloody coffin match at this past Saturday’s All Out that Moxley won, thanks to the return of PAC. The two have four singles matches against each other in AEW with Moxley going 4-0.

Allin has never had an I Quit match while Moxley has two of them in his career, the last coming against Eddie Kingston at 2020’s Full Gear.

It’s the first official match for the PPV.
