Sting’s son has officially stepped into the AEW ring as a professional wrestler.
Warning: The remainder of the article contains spoilers for AEW Collision on August 29, 2026.
AEW carried out the Collision tapings on August 29 after Dynamite, and the spoilers reveal that Steven Borden stepped into action by attacking Kevin Knight during his promo.
We must not forget that in recent months the son of Sting has accumulated a number of Dark Matches. He has wrestled more than a dozen bouts in front of fans before the broadcasts of Dynamite or Collision in order to develop his skills.
This is a storyline that Catch-Newz has been following since Sting’s retirement. When his father hung up the boots, Steven Borden caught the wrestling bug and the desire to carry on the family legacy. It was at that moment that he began private training with Darby Allin and other AEW wrestlers.
Training that led to matches in front of the AEW crowd, but none of the matches had been broadcast.
Why this rivalry with Kevin Knight?
We have to go back to Dynamite on August 19 when Kevin Knight attacked Darby Allin with pyrotechnics.
Allin had left the show on a stretcher, and if you paid attention, it was his friend Steven Borden who came out to hold his hand and help transport him to the ambulance. This marked the first inclusion in the storyline that justifies the attack on Kevin Knight.
After Sting helped Darby Allin progress in AEW, it is now Darby Allin who will help his son.
