WWE Hall of Famer and soon-to-be AEW Hall of Famer Sting has stayed true to his retirement plans, keeping a lower profile since his AEW Revolution match last year. Recently, Sting’s eldest son, Garrett Borden, shared on X that he and his wife are expecting a child this November, prompting Sting to joyfully declare himself a proud grandfather. While this will be Garrett’s first child, Sting already has another grandchild through his other son, Steve Borden Jr. Both Garrett and Steve Jr. have participated in Sting’s wrestling storylines, with Garrett adopting the “Surfer Sting” persona and Steve Jr. embracing the “Wolfpack Sting” character during a recent match. Although still under a multi-year contract with AEW, Sting has been scaling back his in-ring appearances since launching the “2025 or Never” tour earlier this year, likely to make more time for his growing family.
Fan Take: This heartfelt milestone for Sting adds a new layer to his legacy, showing that even wrestling legends evolve beyond the ring. For AEW fans, it’s a reminder of the sport’s deep-rooted generational ties and how personal moments like these can inspire fresh storytelling and connect with audiences on a more emotional level.
