7 Last-Minute AEW: Double Or Nothing 2020 Rumours

7. Sting Arrives In AEW

Nobody on earth knows how to feel about this one.

On the surface, there are a million reasons to be sniffy about the idea of a 61year old man emerging from relative obscurity to get a spotlight and a platform in a promotion that's absolutely adamant it's giving both of those to its own stars. Another big name who made his name, big, in the promotions of yesteryear rolling into Tony Khan's big-top parade for a delicious slice of that nostalgia dollar.

The counter-argument to all of this is, of course "shut up you nerd, Sting in AEW would be cool", and it's impossible to say which stance is right.

However the Legends deal that WWE had put him on to a) enter the Hall of Fame b) have both his facepaint and his legacy rubbed off by Triple H and, finally c) let Seth Rollins put his back out has, recently, expired. For reasons known only to them, WWE haven't picked it back up and Big Banter Uncle Dace (you've missed this column, I can tell) has confirmed that there's something in the reports linking him with AEW.

Double or Nothing might come too soon for all that, but don't count it out.
