AEW Star Thought Sting Debut Was ‘Technical Difficulties’

An AEW star, who was actually in the ring when it happened, didn’t know Sting was debuting and thought it was “technical difficulties”.

Powerhouse Hobbs of Team Taz was in the ring with his group, as well as Arn Anderson, Cody Rhodes, Dustin Rhodes and Darby Allin, and the secret was kept even from Hobbs.

Speaking on the latest AEW Unrestricted podcast, Hobbs said:

“I wasn’t told anything’ If I knew something was gonna happen, I would have been prepared. I didn’t know anything. It’s Sting. It’s almost like seeing a f**king ghost. I still get chills and goosebumps thinking about that.

“To be honest with you, I thought something like maybe some technical difficulties happened.’Why are the lights going out? Somebody playing around because they don’t want Cody to get hit in the head with the belt again?’ I’m like, ‘S**t. Taking away my shine.'”

Now this begs the question – how were they supposed to know how to react when they didn’t even know it was going to happen?

Well, according to Hobbs, Sting’s signature baseball bat was a sign they had to leave. He said:

“So I’ll tell you this, Sting was coming out, and I saw that bat drop. And I know when he has that, for me watching wrestling as a kid, when he has that bat, he doesn’t f**king play around. So I’m like, let’s go. Let’s get the hell out of here. I’m pretty smart to know when I need to bounce.”

Sting’s first AEW match has been confirmed for Revolution as he and Darby Allin will team against Team Taz’s Brian Cage and Ricky Starks in a street fight.
