During an appearance on the Battleground podcast, Tony Khan was asked about Steven Borden using the former ring music of his father, the man known as Sting.
The AEW President acknowledged it was his idea, adding:
It’s a song that was in a library, and we made a deal to get a certain number of plays. We haven’t used it on air yet, but we have a deal to use ‘Turbocharged,’ which is a track that was available through a music library, and I love licensing great music. That’s one of my favorite songs from my childhood. I think about it all the time, and I thought it would be really cool for Steven to come out to it.
Borden’s most recent match for the company was a dark match on 1/21, which saw him team with QT Marshall to take on Nathan Cruz and Rosario Grillo.
Khan noted that developing Borden for the future was “a huge priority” to everyone within AEW.
He also addressed the status of Britt Baker, who has not wrestled for AEW since November 2024, stating:
Britt’s somebody I really like and respect a lot. I definitely think as we’ve evolved, with more tag teams and singles wrestling opportunities across multiple shows, now that we have four hours of TV with Dynamite and Collision, I think there’s going to be more and more opportunities.
Britt’s still somebody very highly regarded and respected here in AEW. I would expect to see Britt back in AEW. I just don’t want to say when.
