#2. Matt Hardy writes a heartfelt message for AEW star Sting

Matt Hardy has high words of praise for Sting as he recently put his thoughts on Twitter regarding the WCW Icon's current pro-wrestling run.

The legendary tag team star explicitly stated that he's grateful to see Sting finally getting the chance to finish his wrestling career on his own terms. Hardy added he has immense respect for the 62-year old star and that Sting deserves the final stint of his wrestling career at AEW:

"No one deserves this current run in pro wrestling more than @Sting. Sting is the best. I have a great respect for him & I am grateful he gets to finish his career properly in @AEW. #AEWDynamite."

Matt Hardy made the statement after witnessing Sting put on another star-making performance when the latter teamed up with Darby Allin to defeat The Gunn Club. The WCW Icon will be completing the first anniversary of his AEW debut at the upcoming Winter is Coming edition of Dynamite. Moving forward, it would be interesting to see what the company has in store for Sting.


#1. Jim Cornette reveals one condition that could prompt Kurt Angle to wrestle in AEW

Jim Cornette thinks WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle could come out of retirement to wrestle a match for AEW down the road.

While speaking on his Drive-Thru podcast, Cornette believes Angle's explicit comments about having a missed opportunity to wrestle Kenny Omega could prompt Tony Khan to offer a big paycheck to the retired legend.

The wrestling manager further stated that Angle might be fully aware that the AEW boss would be firmly behind booking him against The Best Bout Machine:

"If Kurt got back in the ring for another match, it would be for whoever pays the most money, I would think, so I wouldn't bet against that because I bet Tony Khan would pay him the most money. And I have a feeling that Kurt Angle made that statement fully aware of the fact that if he was to have one more match, the person who would pay the most money for it would probably be Tony Khan. And I would extrapolate further that Kurt is fully aware of the fact that if Khan was going to pay him a large sum of money to have one more match, Tony Khan would probably want to see it against Kenny Omega."

Kurt Angle retired after facing Baron Corbin at WrestleMania 35. He opened up about multiple offers he received from AEW. However, Angle turned it down, knowing that his body was too banged up to perform again.
