In an interview with Denise Salcedo at WrestleVerse Fest in Kansas City, Sting talked about how much he’s enjoyed his retirement so far.
Noting his busy travel schedule due to his “2025 or Never” convention appearance tour, the former AEW Tag Team Champion and WWE Hall of Famer talked about his current and future plans:
I’ve always loved real estate, so I’m still dabbling in real estate. And I’m going to get more serious about that coming up here soon, probably 2026 when I’m not traveling so much. And it’s good because my body is healing up and I’m getting to spend more time with family and friends. And, yeah, it’s all good.
The ongoing tour marks the last time Sting will appear in full costume and makeup at conventions.
Sting’s final match at AEW Revolution 2024 saw the Icon team with Darby Allin, a match he revealed he has not seen since as he almost never watches his matches back.
I see certain things, you know, fans or family members or friends will send a video, a 2-3 minute clip of something. I watch stuff like that. And I’m not saying I haven’t seen like a whole match of mine, but it’s rare. It is so rare. When I’m done, I take that hat off and go on with the next part of my life.
Sting remains under a licensing contract with AEW, and is among the announced appearances at the Starrcast convention in Arlington, the same weekend as AEW All In Texas on July 12.
