For wrestling fans with a penchant for the Stinger, it’s been confirmed that this Wednesday will see Sting make another appearance on AEW Dynamite.

Since making his shocking AEW debut at Winter Is Coming earlier this month, the iconic multiple-time World Champion has appeared on every episode of Dynamite – and that trend will continue with this week’s Holiday Bash edition of AEW’s flagship show.

As seen in previous weeks, Sting will be interviewed by Tony Schiavone at Holiday Bash, although nothing has been announced as to whom or what the Stinger will be addressing. Given how his AEW appearances so far have seen him show favour towards Darby Allin – often to the chagrin of Cody Rhodes – it seems a fair bet to expect Darby, Cody and likely Team Taz as being on Sting’s radar on Wednesday night.

With Holiday Bash actually recorded towards the of last week, the line-up for this week’s Dynamite will see:

For those watching in the US, AEW Dynamite: Holiday Bash is due to air at 10pm Eastern or whenever the Boston Celtics vs. Milwaukee Bucks game finishes.
