#2 AEW star Sting gives his opinion on cinematic matches

Sting was a part of a cinematic match at AEW Revolution

AEW star Sting spoke with Paste Magazine ahead of Double or Nothing, where he will team up with Darby Allin to take on Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky. This will mark the in-ring return of The Icon since his last match against Seth Rollins at WWE Night of Champions in 2015.

Sting, however, did compete in a cinematic-style Street Fight at AEW Revolution, where he teamed up with Darby Allin to face Brian Cage and Ricky Starks. He reflected on the match, saying that while he loved being a part of it, it was very physically demanding.

"I’ve always loved filming movies, TV, commercials—I love the Hollywood aspect of things. It was overall a good experience, but it was a lot tougher than I thought it was going to be. I’ve got to tell you. It was tough filming that. Physically, just so demanding—it’s almost easier to go out and have a 20-minute match than it is to film what we did. Still, it was a great experience, lot of fun, and I’m looking forward to just going back to the basics, nothing cinematic. We’re just going to have a straight-up match in front of a crowd and I can’t wait," said Sting.

Sting also had massive praise for his fellow AEW star Darby Allin. You can read more about it right here.
