This Sunday at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina, pro wrestling legend Sting will take part in the final match of his career at AEW Revolution 2024.
Steve Borden, the man called Sting, first began pro wrestling in 1985 as a member of a tag team named the Blade Runners, a post-apocalyptic unit capitalizing on the cult science fiction film released in 1982.
Sting’s partner in the Blade Runners? James Hellwig, who went on to become the Ultimate Warrior in the WWF/WWE. Blade Runner Flash (Sting) and Blade Runner Rock (Warrior) went their separate ways and re-wrote pro wrestling history at the top of the card in the world’s top two promotions.
It is arguable who was more valuable to World Championship Wrestling over the entire course of Ted Turner’s ownership – Sting or Ric Flair. As such, it is apropos that Flair will be ringside to accompany Sting as he and Darby Allin defend their AEW World Tag Team Titles against the Young Bucks.
AEW Revolution odds are posted, but only one of our top online AEW sportsbooks has created a line on Sting’s final match of his career.
Revolution Betting Odds For Sting’s Last Match
- The Young Bucks -300
- Sting & Darby Allin (c) +200
- *Posted At BetOnline AG
The above line for betting on AEW Revolution places the Young Bucks as a near-certain favorite, suggesting that Darby Allin and Sting will lose their last match. This projection makes sense, as it will be somewhat difficult from a storyline basis for Sting to retain the tag titles into retirement.
That said, Sting and Darby can easily drop the straps following the match. AEW owner Tony Khan overindulges in pointless tournaments and is unafraid of leaping over massive logic gaps to reach his desired conclusion.
Don’t sleep on Sting’s odds of +200, which will double your money if he wins.
Besides, no one in Greensboro wants to see Sting lose. The fans, promoters, and pro wrestling sportsbooks are aware of this potential, which is likely why Sting’s odds only appear at one of the sites included in our pro wrestling sportsbook reviews with two days remaining until Revolution.
Stepping out for a minute here – I don’t want to see Sting lose his last match. That would carry a similar stench to his time with WWE, where he abruptly retired after a few losses and an injury.
“Wrestling fans, they’re in my heart. The Little Stingers aren’t little anymore. They’re adults now. We’ve all grown together. We’ve been through all of this together.
Sting
Sting’s words echo truth in my soul. I’m 48 years old and watched Sting wrestle as an 11-year-old child. He has now entertained countless generations and performed at a high level into his mid-60s.
Take in the following video for a little inspiration, and be sure to bet on Sting’s last match before bell time this Sunday.
