At AEW Revolution on March 6th, Sting and Darby Allin will team up with TNT Champion Sammy Guevara to take on Andrade El Idolo, Matt Hardy and Isiah Kassidy of the Andrade-Hardy Family Office in the first ever Tornado Trios match.

However, it's been reported that this was not the original plan for either Sting or Darby.

According to Fightful, the original plan for The Icon and his estranged gothic son was a normal tag match against Andrade and Hardy. Both have attempted to entice Darby into joining the AHFO, but to no avail. This consistent butting of heads between the four men would have resulted in a tag team bout at the pay-per-view.

While there isn't any official reason as to why the match changed, one would think that All Elite President Tony Khan simply didn't want to leave one of his champions off of a major card like Revolution.

Sting and Darby Allin are undefeated as a team in AEW

We're coming up on the one-year anniversary of the cinematic street fight between Sting and Darby Allin against Brian Cage and Ricky Starks of Team Taz, which took place at the 2021 edition of Revolution.

Since that match, the face-painted duo have gone under the radar in the tag team division. Though not an officially ranked team at the time of writing, Darby and Sting have amassed an impressive 7-0 record.

Teams that have fallen to AEW's most wholesome father-son duo outside of Taz and Hook include Men of the Year, The Acclaimed and FTR (who they've technically beaten twice).
