AEW Announces Sting To Miss Time Due To Injury, Off Weekend Appearances

It can happen to anyone. Injuries can take anyone down at any given time and that is never good to see. Any wrestler can be hurt doing just about anything but at the end of the day, there are some moves and stunts that are even more dangerous. It might not be the best idea to try something like this but wrestlers can do some wacky things. That was the case recently and now it isn’t going well.

AEW has announced that due to suffering an unspecified injury, Sting will be unable to participate in this weekend’s Fan Fest Meet and Greets. There is no word on how Sting was injured but it said to have taken place last week. Sting was not scheduled to appear at the show and it is not clear when he will be able to return to television or action. While Sting has not wrestled regularly this year, he has helped Darby Allin during various brawls.

Due to injury last week, @Sting has not been cleared to travel & will unfortunately not be at this Saturday’s #AEWDoN Fan Fest Meet & Greets. For fans who purchased tickets to see #TheIcon, Watch your inbox for information on refunds

Opinion: This isn’t the biggest shock as Sting not only wrestles a somewhat high risk style but he is also 63 years old and doing a bunch of crazy dives. You can only do that for so long before it starts to catch up with you and that might be the case here. Maybe this was more the result of a freak accident or something going wrong, but it might be better for Sting to not do this so often in the future.

What do you think of Sting’s style today? What is his best AEW moment? Let us know in the comments below.
