Tony Khan recently did an interview with Bleacher Report’s Chris Mueller, where he discussed a wide range of topics.
During this time, the AEW President discussed Sting’s retirement from AEW Revolution this past March.
“When he had previously competed in WWE, I don’t think he had a great experience with WWE. He was looking to do something very different. When I first talked to Sting, he was interested in having a comeback, but I don’t think Steve (Borden) ever imagined it would lead to a three-year run in wrestling that would become legendary,” Khan said.
Khan called the match “the greatest sendoff ever in pro wrestling. Sting deserves that because he’s one of the greatest wrestlers ever, and we were very lucky to have him in AEW.”
