Sting To Have A “Variety Of Roles” In AEW

During his latest Grilling JR podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross explained that following his debut for the promotion this month, WCW icon Sting is going to have a “variety of roles” within AEW.

Ross noted that Sting, who signed a multi-year deal with AEW before debuting on the Winter is Coming show in December, is going to be more than just an on-screen character for the promotion:

“Having Sting coming to AEW for the first time, what’s really going on? What’s really going on is Tony Khan reached out, hired Sting to a multi year deal. He’s going to have a variety of roles, I don’t know what they are exactly but they will be in a creative capacity where he’s a character on television. There’s a lot of ways to be a character on T.V. thats been accepted by the audience nowadays that doesn’t include wrestling a match every week.

“I don’t think anybody should wrestle a match every week. I think it’s a kiss of death, you want to keep your talent fresh and you don’t want to over expose them. There’s a lot of things Sting can do. These conspiracy theories, they’re rampant. We all thrive on this sh*t. ‘What’s the dirt?’ I don’t know. If you come back in 20 minutes I’ll create something for you.”
