Wrestling fans will have a few more opportunities to meet Sting before the icon rides off into the sunset for good. Following his in-ring retirement match at AEW Revolution 2024, the WCW legend announced he’d embark on his ‘2025 or Never’ meet and greet tour, which has been in full swing.
I have enjoyed meeting fans at events around the world.
As much as I have loved interacting with you all in the traditional Stinger war paint, I’ve decided that 2025 will be my last year appearing in full gear.
I guess it’s 2025 or never. Wow. Tough to speak that out. pic.twitter.com/rbkiEl8Lq3

More Appearances
During a conversation with The Wrestling Classic, Sting revealed that he’s adding “many, many” more dates to his appearance schedule. Despite not providing specifics, Sting assured fans that details are forthcoming, and we haven’t seen the last of him.
“I’m getting a lot of responses from the fans, yes. And, you know, the common question is, ‘Are you sure this is it? I mean, you’re never going to be in the face paint again? What about if you did Surfer Sting?’
It’s like, I can’t pull off Surfer Sting anymore. so yeah, I’m not… It’s not a goodbye, okay?”
