The professional wrestling world is abuzz with the news that Sting’s son, Steve Borden, is gearing up to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a professional wrestler. This revelation comes courtesy of All Elite Wrestling (AEW) star Darby Allin, who recently revealed that he has been training Steve in the art of wrestling.
For those who may have missed it, Steve and his brother Garrett made a memorable appearance during Sting’s farewell match at AEW Revolution 2024, where they got involved in the action and even pulled off some impressive moves. Since then, Sting has stepped away from the limelight, but it seems his sons are eager to carry on his legacy.
Initially, Sting had mentioned that neither of his sons were interested in pursuing a career in professional wrestling. However, it appears that Steve has had a change of heart. According to Darby Allin, Steve has been living with him for the past few weeks, training diligently to hone his skills and prepare for his debut in the ring.
The catalyst for Steve’s decision seems to have been his experience at AEW Revolution 2024, where he got a taste of the thrill of performing in front of a live audience. Darby Allin, who has taken Steve under his wing, revealed that he invited Steve to train with him, and the young Borden has been working hard to develop his craft.
Meanwhile, there has been speculation about Sting’s future role in AEW. While some have suggested that he could assume an on-screen authority role, Matt Morgan, a WWE veteran, believes that this would not be beneficial to the promotion. Instead, Morgan advises AEW president Tony Khan to hire a booker who can help craft compelling storylines.
Sting himself has expressed his desire to remain behind the scenes, working in a capacity that allows him to contribute to the wrestling industry without being in the spotlight. As his son Steve prepares to go on his own wrestling journey, it will be interesting to see how Sting’s experience and guidance shape his development as a performer.
With Darby Allin’s mentorship and Sting’s influence, Steve Borden is poised to make a name for himself in professional wrestling. As he trains to make his debut, fans are eagerly anticipating the emergence of the next generation of wrestling talent. Will Steve Borden follow in his father’s footsteps and become a legend in his own right? Only time will tell.
