Tony Khan has credited Darby Allin for helping Sting get re-introduced to the professional wrestling audience in AEW.

Tony Khan has commented on what is next for Darby Allin after Sting retires from AEW as the pro wrestling legend looks to wrap up his career.

Having made dual appearances often throughout the three year run, Darby Allin’s character has remained true to Sting throughout.

With Sting’s career coming to a close, Tony Khan commented on what would be next for Darby Allin after Sting’s departure on the AEW Full Gear 2023 media call.

Khan said:

“I think it’s important to remember Darby was on fire before Sting got here and has continued to stay on fire,”

“I think Sting has been a great mentor to Darby. And the crazy thing is, I think for the crazy world of modern, 2023, present-day wrestling, I think Darby has been an awesome person to help Sting get reintroduced after taking a lot of time away.

“Darby is a great mind for wrestling, and he’s one of our top stars. And I think, certainly, it’s very fitting he’ll be alongside Sting for Sting’s retirement.

“Also, I think Darby has got such a bright future, many years ahead after Sting retires, but I’m really glad that the two of them have had this great run.

“It’s been nearly three years now, and it’s been something I’ve really enjoyed, and one of the most special things I’ve ever been a part of.”

Darby Allin will team with Sting as well as Adam Copeland in his AEW pay-per-view in-ring debut on Saturday November 18 at AEW Full Gear 2023.
