CM Punk, Sting & Darby Allin vs. MJF & FTR will be one of the biggest matches in AEW history.
Tony Khan thinks so.
The AEW President made this claim during a recent Culture State interview, where he also spoke about
On how the matchup is one of the biggest AEW has done: “Sting doesn’t wrestle every week. He is a regular part of the roster in AEW, but his matches are very special. This match at the Holiday Bash, Sting Darby Allin and CM Punk vs. MJF and FTR is one of the biggest matches we’ve ever had in AEW and it’s one of the biggest matches for sure we’ve ever had on Dynamite. It’s a huge main event, and it’s a big deal for Sting to team with Darby Allin and CM Punk. First time for Punk to team with either of ‘em.”
On Sting not wrestlin in the host city, Greensboro, in over 27 years: “And Punk and Sting in particular teaming is a very historic thing, I think. And like I said, Sting hasn’t wrestled in Greensboro in over 27 years since he wrestled Ric Flair October 6 of 1994. I can’t find any record of Sting wrestling in Greensboro since then, and I’ve looked.”
On how he hopes Sting is able to continue competing for a while: “Sting’s gonna be wrestling here, I hope, for a long time.But every match he has is special. You never know how many more is gonna wrestle. It’s kind of amazing that Sting is still wrestling, and it’s gonna be a big deal [at] The Holiday Bash.”
