AEW went back in time, reuniting two legends that rose to prominence against each other.
It took place just over a week ago on the “Grand Slam” edition of Rampage during the tag-team match with Sting and Darby Allin and the House of Black. Near the end of the match, while Sting was handcuffed and unable to defend himself, Buddy Matthews grabbed his baseball bat to inflict even more damage. But before the industry icon could be knocked into oblivion, he was rescued from impending doom with a save from The Great Muta.
“That was a moment,” says Sting, whose name is Steve Borden. “I had flashbacks when he stepped into the ring. Seeing him face to face, it took me back in time.”
