The Icon Sting made his first appearance in AEW since his retirement match in March, coming to the aid of Darby Allin who was about to be set on fire in a coffin.
After Jack Perry defeated Allin, The Young Bucks came out to help Perry dump gasoline inside and on the coffin with the aim to light him up on fire. But as Perry got fire, the lights went out and the popular Seek and Destroy song hit the speakers.
Sting came out, holding a baseball bat and The Bucks and Perry backed off in the ring. Sting got in the ring and swung his bat as the heels tried to fend him off. Perry hit him with a steel chair and Sting no sold the shot and Perry ran out. The Bucks then were on the receiving end of a double Scorpion Death Drop.
Sting exited the ring and helped Allin out of the coffin to end the segment on a happier note.
Allin and Sting defeated The Young Bucks in the main event of AEW Revolution in March, retaining their tag team titles and sending Sting into retirement with a perfect record.
IT’S STIIIIIIIIIIIIING!
