Update on Steve Borden Jr - AEW, Tony Khan reaction
🕑 Added 2025-12-16 23:00:12 +0000 UTCIt’s STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE
Steve Borden, the son of Sting, debuted for AEW on December 10, working a dark match ahead of the show.
Fightful reached out to Tony Khan himself who said “I THOUGHT HE WAS EXCELLENT. He’s doing a great job. Very exciting in my opinion.”
Another longtime member of AEW staff said that they thought Borden did great, and put over his physique, saying they’d sacrifice years of their NFL team winning to look like him. His physical look was among the most common responses we heard back from.
One source in AEW expected him to be under AEW contract before long if he’s not already.
He worked against Kiran Grey, who Borden also faced in his DEFY indie debut.

Sign him, get him on CMLL undercards. That man has crazy athleticism, let him learn to be even more limber, put him in the face paint but only there for now as he develops. Obviously also work him in Dark matches a bunch, but until he's ready to be an on-screen character keep him off TV or ROH imo.

This should be a perfect use for Ring of Honor. Let Steven Borden get a few years of experience on Honor Club, then bring him to the AEW roster in like 2027-28.
