After nearly two decades, Sting returned to TNT on Wednesday night Dynamite in All Elite Wrestling. All Elite Wrestling promoted Wednesday's night's show as a game changer and it definitely delivered. During the episode of Dynamite Sting rescued Cody Rhodes, Darby Allin, and Arn Anderson from Team Taz with his trademark trench coat and baseball bat.
Sting was one of the major stars of WCW (World Championship Wrestling) during the Monday Night Wars of wrestling between WWE Monday Night Raw and WCW Nitro. Nitro's last episode aired in March of 2001 where Sting wrestled Ric Flair. After WCW closed down, Sting moved on to Impact Wrestling in 2003 and wrestled there until 2014. For the last six years Sting appeared in WWE until his contract expired in May of 2020.
All Elite Wrestling gains a tremendous amount of credibility and marketability with the addition of Sting to their roster. Sting is a major star to casual fans and AEW needs to attract casual fans in order to grow their promotion. It is being reported that Sting has signed a multi year deal with All Elite Wrestling so it will be interesting to see if Sting wrestles or has a supporting role.
This Wednesday, the Stinger speaks and I can't wait to hear what he has to say. All I can say is that Wednesday nights just got a whole lot more interesting.
