However, Sting’s long and illustrious career of over 40 years is set to come to an end on March 3, 2024, at AEW Revolution. Recently, Kevin Nash revealed why he won’t be in attendance for the special night.

Sting will defend the AEW Tag Team Championships with Darby Allin against The Young Bucks. The rivalry between the two sides became personal after the EVPs attacked the 64-year-old’s sons a few weeks ago. While Nash has been denied the opportunity to be in person, Ric Flair will most likely accompany his long-time rival for his final bout.
