The idea of incorporating fire was thrown around.
It was six months ago that Sting’s retirement match took place as the main event of AEW Revolution. Himself and Darby Allin defeated The Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson & Nicholas Jackson) to retain the AEW World Tag Team Championships.
Since then, Sting made a surprise appearance at All In to save Darby from The Elite.
While appearing on Superstar Crossover, Allin looked back at Sting’s retirement match and shared that there were ideas for fire to be used during the bout.
That was my sole idea (using glass during Sting’s final match). I think that I was like, ‘Man, this is Sting’s last match. You only get one shot at this. We have to go balls to the wall, all out crazy. What can we do?’ And then it’s like, I just thought of that. I don’t know why that but I just thought of that.
Well, there was ideas of fire. But… I think the glass was pretty much — there’s no way of faking glass. Unless you use sugar glass but, I ain’t gonna play with that. Give me the good stuff and I think with wrestling, everything I do in wrestling, there’s no holes through it, you can’t see through it. Me getting thrown down a flight of steps at Daily’s Place by Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky, that sucked. That’s cement stairs. But I don’t want anyone to just, ‘Ah, there was a padding.’ Nah. No.
In the main event of Dynamite Grand Slam, Allin was defeated by Jon Moxley. With that loss, his AEW World Title shot now belongs to Moxley and at the WrestleDream pay-per-view, it’ll be Moxley challenging Bryan Danielson.
