Top AEW Star Addresses Sting’s Son Training In The Ring

AEW

Former AEW TNT Champion Adam Copeland has addressed Sting’s son training in the ring for a potential pro wrestling career.

After appearing in the lead-up to his final match, Sting’s sons Steven and Garrett Borden took part in his and Darby Allin’s entrance and match at AEW Revolution.

Steven Borden has since been training in the ring with Darby Allin for a potential wrestling career. He then recently trained with Allin, Adam Copeland and FTR.

In a new interview with Sports Illustrated’s The Takedown, Copeland gave his thoughts on Borden potentially following in his father’s footsteps. He said:

“I think at Revolution there in Greensboro, he got a bit of the itch,”

“He felt what it is. And once you feel that, man, it’s hard to walk away from that. It’s hard to go, ‘Wait, that wasn’t cool.’ You’re going to go, ‘That was really cool and really fun.’”

“It’s a great gig. So I think he felt that. Also in terms of his physicality, I mean, he’s 6-3. He’s about 230 pounds. He’s probably sitting about eight percent body fat. He looks the part.”

“He’s got a good head on his shoulders, very similar to his dad in how he conducts himself, which is a great thing.”

On the potential pressure that Borden will face entering the business, Copeland said:

“I think now it’s really up to him,”

“What does he want to put into it? Does he want to put in the work that it will take? Because you got to figure it. You might look at it and say, ‘Ok, an easier pathway into the business.’”

“But once he’s in the business, there’s going to be a big spotlight on him, and with that comes extra pressures.”

“You’re Sting’s son and trying to break out of that. But, he’s smart. He’s smart, and I think if he wants to do it, he absolutely could do it.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Adam Copeland also addressed uncertainty regarding his potential return to AEW in-ring competition, which you can read here.
