Sting’s retirement match will be part of AEW Revolution at the Greensboro Coliseum in North Carolina on Sunday, March 3rd, 2024.
The date and location were announced in a backstage segment during Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite.
The venue is a very special one for Sting.
It was the scene of the famous 1988 match between Sting and Ric Flair for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. The match went to a 45-minute commercial-free draw in the main event of the first-ever Clash of the Champions event.
The first Clash of the Champions was a television special that Jim Crockett Promotions ran against WrestleMania IV.
Tony Schiavone was on commentary that night. On Wednesday’s edition of Dynamite, he made the announcement, flanked by both Sting and Flair.
