Nope: Wrestling Legend Says Sting Invited Him To Retirement Match But WWE Turned It Down

That won’t happen. Retirement is an interesting concept in wrestling as you will often hear it discussed but rarely see wrestlers actually go through with it. Wrestlers will often hint at or even say that they are going to retire before coming back to the ring later on. Their first retirement match is often quite the event though and that is expected to be the case next month, but one wrestling legend will not be able to see it in person.

AEW has announced that Sting will have his retirement match at Revolution on March 3. WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash spoke about the match on a recent edition of his Kliq This podcast, saying that Sting invited him to the match. However, as Nash is under a deal with WWE, he would not be able to appear at the show. Nash said that Sting asked if he could be present for the match and Nash asked WWE for permission, but did not receive it. Sting is set to team with Darby Allin to defend the AEW Tag Team Titles against the Young Bucks at Revolution.

The two do have history together. Check out their time in wrestling together:

Opinion: It’s annoying to see and unfortunately it seems that Nash will not be able to be in attendance for the show. While I’m sure it helps that Sting did say he hoped Nash could be there, it is probably a bit annoying that a contract designed for Nash’s special appearances is preventing what would be a special appearance. I get the thinking on WWE’s part, but it’s also a bit annoying to see.
