10 New Directions For AEW After All In 2023

1. Sting’s Retirement Tour?

Can Sting top the majesty of London? That's a valid question, because Wembley provided the highest of highs for somebody who has been at this stuff since the 1980s. Seeing the icon work in front of that gigantic crowd was a genuine thrill for any old-school WCW mark (this writer included).

It's crazy to think the Stinger just wrestled in front of his biggest in-person audience...in 2023. Everybody would be sad to see him retire, but bowing out on that high would be seriously cool. The legend has earned his rest. Sting himself has said All In won't be his last hurrah, but it has to be close right?

Right?!

AEW will surely now get the ball rolling on Sting's retirement tour. The man has nothing else to prove, and has managed to extend his career time and time again with surprisingly-stunning results. Was Wembley the beginning of the end? Most likely.
