* After his WWE run was considered a damp squib with a DownerEnding (unbelievably losing his match against Triple H at WM31 and forced into retirement after an injury received in a match against Seth Rollins), Sting was believed to be done in the wrestling business, an unworthy ending to the career of one of the all-time greats. But in 2020, on the "Winter Is Coming" special episode of [[Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling AEW Dynamite]], airing on his former [[Wrestling/{{WCW}} home]] of Creator/{{TNT}}, Sting appeared to save Wrestling/CodyRhodes, Wrestling/DarbyAllin, Wrestling/DustinRhodes and even his old nemesis Wrestling/ArnAnderson from a beatdown at the hands of [[Wrestling/{{Tazz}} Team Tazz]], and everyone ''came unglued!''

* Winning the AEW Tag Team Championships together with Darby on the 7th of February episode of ''Dynamite'' in a hard-hitting tornado tag match against Ricky Starks and Big Bill, holding wrestling gold again at the age of nearly ''65 years'' and still genuinely looking good doing it. After Darby took Bill (and himself) out of the match with a meteora through a table on the outside, Sting kicked out of a Ricky's Spear before catching a second one and reversing it into the Scorpion Death Drop for the win, causing the crowd to go mental.

* Sting's final match at AEW Revolution 2024 with the Young Bucks was the perfect cap to a 35-year career, and may quite possibly be one of the greatest retirement matches of all time. Before the match even started, Sting came to the ring to his old "Seek and Destroy" theme with his sons dressed as Surfer Sting and Wolfpack Sting... and then the match started. Darby's own spots were spectacular enough – including a swanton bomb from the top of a ladder ''into a pane of (tempered) glass'' – but the Stinger was no slouch, dealing out stinger splashes and taking bumps like a man twenty years his junior with aplomb (including a powerbomb off the same ladder, and being thrown into another pane of (sugar) glass). By the end of the match, Sting no-sold the Young Bucks' double super-kick (complete with both Jacksons telling Sting that [[Wrestling/ShawnMichaels they weren't sorry and they hated him]]), leading to him hulking up and delivering scorpion death drops to both men, before Darby's coffin drop allowed Sting to lock in the deathlock and retire, as champion, with an AEW record of 29–0.
