The WWE Hall of Famer made his name in the United States, particularly during his run with World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in the 90’s.
Sting has had a storied career, being a six-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion and a four-time TNA World Heavyweight Champion. It wasn’t until 2014 that he made his first-ever appearance for WWE. The Icon competed against Triple H at WrestleMania and was eventually inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
WWE’s use of the Sting character grew less, and ultimately his contract expired. He signed with AEW in 2020, and returned to the ring following a near career-ending injury suffered whilst in WWE facing Seth Rollins.
His first match in AEW was at the Revolution pay-per-view in 2021, and was contested as a cinematic street fight. Sting discussed his return match with Bleacher Report:
Is Sting the oldest wrestler on the AEW roster?
Sting is the oldest wrestler to compete on the AEW roster. At the age of 62, he’s still making memories for his fans all around the world.
The oldest behind The Icon is Luther, who is ten years younger than Sting at 52. Dustin Rhodes is next at 51, followed by Christopher Daniels and Chris Jericho, who are both 50.
How long Sting will continue to wrestle remains to be seen. We’re delighted to still see him wrestle and give back to the business; especially for the young stars on AEW.
