Sting
Fans best know Sting for his wrestling career in both WCW and TNA. It wasn’t until 2014 that he signed with WWE. After Sting lost to Seth Rollins at Night of Champions 2015, he made it known that he had retired from wrestling. With wrestling’s famous saying, “never say never”, Sting came back to in-ring competition at AEW in 2020. Sting stuck around for nearly four years with an undefeated record of 29-0.
At AEW Revolution in 2024, Sting wrestled his final match, retaining the AEW World Tag Team Titles with Darby Allin against Matt and Nick Jackson of The Young Bucks. Sting winning in his retirement match is a prime example of also giving back to the business. Indeed, Sting won, but it elevated his partner, Darby Allin, to greater heights as he is now in the main event scene.
For John Cena’s retirement, should he join the list of big wrestling stars who won or lost in their final bout? Leave your comments below.
