Sting’s Son Making Pro Wrestling Debut

There’s about to be a new second-generation star in the wrestling business as Sting’s son gets ready for his first bout.

Pro wrestling is filled with family ties, or nepo babies if you’re cynical. The Bloodline have run roughshod in WWE in recent years together, but their family roots in the company go back decades to The Wild Samoans, Afa and Sika.

Cody Rhodes is the reigning WWE Champion, but to some fans of a certain age, The American Nightmare will always just be the son of the son of a plumber, the legendary Dusty Rhodes.

Now, another wrestling icon’s son is about to have their first match, but it’s come later than most stars start in the business.

Sting brought an end to his legendary career at AEW Revolution in March 2024. The Icon teamed with Darby Allin to defeat The Young Bucks and retain the AEW World Tag Team Championship. That meant Sting also went undefeated during his three memorable years in Tony Khan’s company.

AEW Star Puts Together Sting’s Son’s Debut

Sting’s entrance for that bout saw his two sons don his old gear as the different eras of his career were celebrated. And now one of those sons is set to make their debut in the ring.

Steven Borden is set to compete as part of “52W HARDWAY: LIVE WRESTLING NIGHTS,” an event that blends pro wrestling with an art exhibition in New York City’s 52 Walker gallery space.

The exhibition is being held to showcase artist Raymond Pettibon’s wrestling-related drawings, with a ring taking up the centre of the room for matches to take place on October 3rd and October 10th. The wrestling matches are being put together by AEW star Darby Allin, who will headline both nights of action as well. Stars such as AR Fox, Timothy Thatcher, and Killer Kross are all slated to be involved.
