Sting’s son makes pro wrestling debut against Darby Allin and Killer Kross
Sting’s son, Steven Borden, has made his pro wrestling debut.
He wrestled Friday night, teaming with JD Drake of The Workhorsemen against Darby Allin and Killer Kross. The match took place at 52W Hardway, an event combining art, music, and wrestling curated by Darby Allin, Raymond Pettibon, and AEW’s Charlie Ramone. The exhibit runs for two weeks, with live wrestling only on October 3 and 10.
Borden wore plain black pants with no makeup for the match. He previously portrayed Wolfpac Sting during his father’s retirement match against The Young Bucks at AEW Revolution 2024.
ARTnews covered the event and posted footage to Instagram, writing:
“Last night, live wrestling took over 52 Walker. As part of the gallery’s newest exhibition—a showing of Raymond Pettibon’s wrestling drawings—Pettibon’s friend and former two-time AEW TNT Champion Darby Allin staged matches inside a ring installed in the gallery. He was joined by Killer Kross, Steven Borden, Sid Ellington, Kiran Grey, and Timothy Thatcher, with Los Angeles band Purest Form opening the night. Organized by Ebony L. Haynes, the two-week presentation—part exhibition, part event—centers on Pettibon’s critique American myths of masculinity, power, and spectacle. Catch the next and final match on October 10 at 52 Walker, and follow ARTnews for more.”
Up next for Darby Allin is AEW WrestleDream on October 11 in St. Louis, where he’s scheduled to face Jon Moxley in an I Quit match.
