5 stars who could hand Sting his first loss in AEW

#2 MJF can go against Sting after defeating his protege

MJF's win over Sting's disciple Darby Allin at Full Gear this year was a major upset for the fans. The Daredevil took a lot of hits and fought back equally hard, but a dirty move from 'The Salt of the Earth' proved to be the final blow.

The feud between MJF and Darby Allin could easily be developed to rope in Sting as well. MJF is one of Tony Khan's biggest future stars, and a win over a legendary wrestler like Sting would set him up as one of the most important heels on the roster. MJF has no morals or inclination to fight fair, so it would not be strange if he defeated Sting by unfair means.

#1 Darby Allin betraying Sting would be one of the most shocking moments in AEW history

Right from when Sting debuted, the WCW legend has taken Darby Allin under his wing. The pair have gained popularity not just because of Sting's status, but also due to Darby's devil-may-care style. They have been pushed by AEW as faces so far.

If Darby turns heel, his first target would most probably be his mentor. The unsuspecting Sting being ambushed by his protege would be one of the biggest twists in AEW history. It is not difficult to see the Daredevil snapping and going over to the dark side. No matter how the moment happens, it would sell among the AEW fans extremely well. This could probably be one of the most well-handled ways of handing Sting his first loss in his new home.
