An AEW star claimed his proudest moment was when Sting enjoyed wrestling against him. The star in question is Anthony Bowens.
The Icon competed in his last match at the AEW Revolution 2024 Pay-Per-View, along with Darby Allin, and defeated The Young Bucks to retain their AEW World Tag Team Championship. The 64-year-old legend ended his career on a high note and retired with an undefeated streak.
The Acclaimed and Billy Gunn are the current AEW World Trios Champions. They have been reigning champions since winning the title at last year's All In Pay-Per-View. The trio has recently joined forces with Bullet Club Gold.
