Darby Allin: Sting's sons aren't interested in becoming wrestlers

Despite their involvement in a recent AEW angle, it doesn't look like we'll ever see Sting's sons Garrett and Steven Jr. compete in the ring.

Darby Allin told Digital Spy that the two Borden sons aren't interested in becoming wrestlers. Allin said he's asked Sting if Garrett and Steven have ever tried wrestling, but Sting said it's just not something they've wanted to do:

They're not interested at all. I've asked [Sting] I was like, 'I'm just curious, I really want to know have your sons ever tried this?' And he said, 'No, they're not interested.'

It just wasn't a thing that they wanted to do, but I was curious because they're pretty big dudes. They should get together, become a tag team – that would be cool.

Garrett and Steven were sitting in the front row when Sting & Allin won the AEW Tag Team titles earlier this month. They celebrated the victory with their father, but The Young Bucks then attacked Sting, Allin, Garrett, and Steven with baseball bats.

Garrett and Steven both played football in college.

Sting's daughter-in-law Katelyn, who is married to Garrett, works as AEW's director of community engagement and wrestles on the indies as Jael. She's been trained by Dustin Rhodes at the Rhodes Wrestling Academy.

Sting's retirement match will headline AEW's Revolution pay-per-view in Greensboro, North Carolina on Sunday, March 3. Sting & Allin are defending their AEW Tag Team titles against The Young Bucks in the match.

Allin spoke to Digital Spy about winning the Tag Team titles with Sting:

It was so important and to share that with him because he'll stop at nothing and I'll stop at nothing to make sure that his career ends on a high note.

He's not one of these guys that's just going to ride off in the sunset and phone it in and take it easy. Talk about a dude who's still jumping off balconies and going crazy.

So it was just awesome that we had this moment after all the craziness we've done in AEW. That was like the perfect ending.

On Dynamite next Wednesday (February 28), Sting will make his final appearance on the show before retirement. It's Dynamite's go-home episode for Revolution.
