A former WWE star joked that Steve Borden's AEW name could be "Stung." He probably suggested this name because Steve is the son of The Icon, Sting.
EC3 first made a name for himself in TNA Wrestling where he played the role of Dixie Carter's nephew. After leaving TNA Wrestling, he went on to WWE where he didn't enjoy a very successful run in the company and was eventually released. Since his release, EC3 has been making waves in the independent scene as well as giving his thoughts on the wrestling business. He recently addressed Steve Borden's potential AEW name.
Steve Borden recently posted a photo to social media following which Dustin Rhodes offered him the chance to train at the Rhodes Wrestling Academy. This sparked a lot of interesting from the wrestling community. Speaking on Sportkeeda's The Wrestling Outlaws podcast, Vince Russo, EC3, and Dr. Chris where discussing what Steve Borden's AEW name could be when the former WWE star came out with a funny suggestion.
"So, it can't be Stung?" joked EC3. [1:12 - 1:15]
Dr. Chris then mentioned that the character could be dead on arrival because he has committed the act of stinging someone.
