AEW Revolution 2024 is upon us with Sting retiring after four decades in the wrestling business.

The World Championship Wrestling (WCW) icon, who was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2016 by Ric Flair, is calling time on his career over three years after joining All Elite Wrestling.

This weekend, his legendary career comes to an end with an epic retirement match as Sting teams with longtime tag partner Darby Allin, putting their championships on the line against The Young Bucks.

The 64-year-old legend has embraced Darby’s daredevil attitude in the ring, with the younger star exclusively telling Metro.co.uk: ‘He inspires me inside the ring… being 64 years old, jumping off balconies – but also how he lives his life outside the ring, being so humble – and sometimes he forgets he’s Sting.’

The card as a whole for Revolution looks stacked from top to bottom with eight other matches including a further five title bouts.

Here’s everything you need to know.

Is Sting actually retiring?

The Icon Sting is hanging up his boots for good, eight years after his first retirement in WWE.

A journeyman of the wrestling world, he was synonymous with WCW before have a resurgence in TNA/IMPACT Wrestling, while his WWE run didn’t quite go as anyone would have hoped.

Despite a dream match with The Undertaker being there for the taking, Sting’s only WrestleMania match saw him lose to Triple H, while a subsequent match against Seth Rollins saw him suffer a career threatening back injury.

Joining AEW in December 2020 showed there was still plenty left in the tank, and now Sting seems to have reached a point where he can retire on his own terms.

‘I want people to walk away saying, ‘How was that even possible?” I want people to be entertained. I want to elevate AEW,’ he told Sports Illustrated.

‘I never wanted wrestling to pass me by. That’s why I wrestled the way I did. This Sunday, I’m going to wrestle a way that will make people want to save the tape.’
