Sting will have his last wrestling match at AEW Revolution in a matter of weeks but is Showtime about to become a Superkick Party for The Icon?

Sting revealed that his final match will take place at AEW Revolution as he brings the curtain down on one of the longest wrestling careers in history. Sting first appeared in AEW in December 2020 and during his time in the company he has competed in tag team matches and remains undefeated in those as he formed a formidable alliance with Darby Allin.

With Revolution now only a matter of weeks away, it looks like Sting’s last match could be a tag team affair as well after a surprise return took place on Dynamite.

The Young Bucks Stare Down Sting

The Young Bucks had not been seen on AEW television since losing to Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho at Full Gear. With that loss, they also lost the right to challenge for the AEW Tag Team Championship and now it looks like Matt and Nick Jackson might have another prize in mind.

On the Homecoming edition of Dynamite, Sting and Darby Allin defeated Konosuke Takeshita and Powerhouse Hobbs in a tag team match before Tony Schiavone joined the victors with Sting seemingly ready to reveal who his final opponent would be.

Before Sting could answer, however, The Young Bucks interrupted, staring down both Sting and Darby Allin, indicating they might want the chance to send The Icon off into the sunset. Whether or not they will get that chance remains to be seen.

The Young Bucks have clashed with the former WCW World Champion before at Forbidden Door 2022 when The Bucks teamed with El Phantasmo as Bullet Club against Sting, Darby Allin, and Shingo Takagi.
