One of the standout success stories from AEW in recent times has been the pairing of Sting with the young dynamo, Darby Allin.

Khan couldn't hide his enthusiasm about this pairing, stating, "When you anticipate something good and it turns out to be even better, it's a pure delight. That's precisely how I feel about Sting and Darby's alliance." He also emphasized that their bond is just as strong off-screen, highlighting the genuine camaraderie between the two.

Underlining Sting's monumental contribution to AEW, Khan recalled several memorable moments the Icon has delivered. He said, "Sting's journey with AEW is dotted with iconic moments, and I genuinely wish this journey continues indefinitely." Khan's respect for the veteran is evident when he talks about Sting's retirement.

"Sting's retirement will be on his terms," Khan asserted. He went on to emphasize that Sting deserves to wrap up his illustrious career in the manner he sees fit, ensuring that his final chapters in wrestling are as legendary as the ones before.

In addition to discussing Sting, Khan also touched upon Bryan Danielson's current status. Danielson, another fan-favorite, had recently sustained an injury during his match against Kazuchika Okada at Forbidden Door 2. Khan provided reassurances on Bryan's recovery, hinting at more exciting things to come for the wrestling superstar.

In conclusion, with such high-profile names and events, AEW continues to solidify its position as a top-tier wrestling promotion. The commitment from legends like Sting, combined with the guidance of leaders like Khan, ensures that the future remains bright for AEW and its fans.
