Steven Borden has won his first-ever singles match.
The son of the legendary WWE Hall of Famer and AEW star made his singles debut for Defy on Friday night at Washington Hall defeating Kieran Gray, a fellow Darby Allin trainee. After the match, fans chanted ‘please come back.’
Borden wrestled his debut match back in October, teaming with JD Drake to take on Darby Allin and Killer Kross. That was part of a New York City art exhibition featuring artists Raymond Pettibon and Charlie Ramone.
In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, Allin seemed high on Borden when asked how far he could go in pro wrestling.
“As far as he wants to take it — as far as he wants to take it,” Allin responded.
Borden was part of Sting’s retirement match back at AEW Revolution 2024 dressed as Sting’s Wolfpac persona while his brother Garrett appeared as his dad’s Surfer Sting persona. In his final match, Sting would go on to team with Allin to defeat The Young Bucks, retaining the AEW Tag Team titles that would ultimately become vacant.
