Sting Announces More Dates For Final Ever Face Paint Meet & Greet

The last two years have seen a lot of last-time-evers for The Icon Sting, who officially retired from the ring at AEW Revolution 2024, bowing out as one half of the AEW World Tag Team Champions alongside Darby Allin, defeating The Young Bucks in his last match. Sting would then appear at AEW All In: London 2024 in what will likely be his last live appearance in the UK under the Sting character.

As the former multi-time WCW & TNA World Heavyweight Champion surpasses 66 years of age, he is looking to now finally set aside the face paint and make-up, laying down the Sting gimmick once and for all. Prior to that, he has announced one final meet & greet donning the full face paint in what is being billed as “2025 or Never”. This convention was revealed earlier this year, but he has now announced even more dates via social media for fans to see him under his iconic look one last time.
