#1. Darby Allin spoke about his relationship with Sting in AEW

Sting and Darby Allin have become an inseparable duo in AEW. The Icon has been both a friend and a mentor to the former Evolve star. Sting even made an in-ring return alongside Darby Allin, with the duo winning every match together so far.

Darby Allin was full of praise for Sting, especially the former WCW stalwart's humility. The former TNT champion went on to say that he played a crucial hand in convincing the Vigilante to wrestle in front of live crowds again.

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

"He's so chill in the sense that, there is no ego with him. The more I'm around the best of the best, whether that's skateboarding when I'm around Tony Hawk or Travis Pastrana, it's Sting. The guys that have done the most shit are the most humble. They have nothing to prove. It's all the fake ass wannabe people that never made it that have this ego. 'You know who I am, right?' No, I don't fucking know who you are. That's what I learned from Sting. Just be a fucking good human being. Be humble and cool," Darby said to Chris Van Vliet on Insight when discussing his relationship with Sting. (h/t: Fightful Select)
"Me and Sting have grown so much together outside of what people have seen on TV. Our personalities outside of the ring, we've come so close and the fans don't see that part. Originally, he was supposed to come in for some cinematic matches and I went to his house in Texas where he had a ring set up and we started rolling around and training and I convinced him to actually wrestle in front of a live crowd. Nobody gets to see those moments behind the scenes. It's just us talking. 'You got this. I'm training with you and seeing what you're doing, let's fucking do it.' Double or Nothing against Scorpio Sky and Ethan Page meant a lot because we never thought it would happen," said Darby. "He gives other people confidence and it's cool that I can help go, 'You got this.' It's cool to do that in all aspects of life."

Sting and Allin have wrestled with some of the biggest teams in AEW. Their first match together was a cinematic match at AEW Revolution when they took on Team Taz's Ricky Starks and Brian Cage in a street fight.

The Stinger wrestled a live match for the first time at AEW Double or Nothing when him and Darby defeated the Men of the Year. Their last win came against the current AAA tag team champions FTR.

Darby Allin will face MJF at Full Gear in what promises to be a cracker of a match.
