Sting debuted for AEW last night at Winter is Coming. Shortly after his appearance on the show, it was announced that he signed a full-time multi-year agreement with the promotion.

Sting\’s deal with AEW was discussed recently on Wrestling Observer Radio. \”It\’s not like WWE where you show up once every year or whatever. I mean, he is going to be on this thing. They wanted the idea of the big star from the old generation TNT being back as a regular.\”

At 61-years-old, Sting is limited with how physical he can get. Don\’t expect to see him working 20-minute singles matches, but he can still be a valuable asset to AEW.

\”Whatever physical stuff he does, they are going to have to do very safely,\” Meltzer continued. \”There will be physical stuff but I don\’t think he\’ll be taking any bumps or anything like that. But he\’s in, he\’s going to be a character in some form.\”

Sting\’s debut was timed for the holiday season in part to sell merchandise. Fans probably noticed Sting was wearing an official AEW t-shirt for his debut. Immediately after his segment on Dynamite, a line of Sting t-shirts, hoodies and hats was added to the AEW store.
