A new report from fightfulonline indicates that AEW is expected to sign Steven Borden, the son of wrestling legend Sting, to a contract "before long." Sources within the promotion suggest that the deal may already be finalized. Borden made his in-ring debut for the company in a dark match prior to the "Winter is Coming" edition of Dynamite on December 10, where he defeated Kiran Grey. The report also noted a positive backstage reaction to Borden’s physical condition. One long-time roster member reportedly commented that they "would sacrifice years of their NFL team winning to look like Sting's son." Borden, who began training with Darby Allin following Sting's retirement match at Revolution 2024, is scheduled to compete next at DEFY Wrestling's "Ender" event on December 28 in Los Angeles. #AEW #Sting #StevenBorden #WrestlingNews #TonyKhan
