Sting has been a constant presence in AEW since his debut in December 2020, and is set to retire at AEW Revolution this year. To honor his career, AEW plans to release a special EP ahead of his retirement match and now a sneak preview of the EP has been released.
Sting’s impending retirement match at AEW Revolution has significantly boosted ticket sales for the pay-per-view. The anticipation to commemorate The Icon’s legendary career has not only driven ticket sales but has made AEW ensure they will give a proper sendoff to Sting by celebrating his career.
As previously reported, AEW announced that on February 22, 2024, AEW will unveil the special release of “STING: THE ERAS” EP. This thematic music compilation traces the illustrious career of The Icon Sting, covering the Surfer Era, Crow Era, Showtime (Joker) Era, and the current Icon (AEW) Era.
AEW Music’s official Twitter account took to the social media platform and dropped the first preview of the EP, which featured Sting during the 80s when he was Surfer Sting. It had all the classic 80s vibes to it and more.
