Darby Allin loved having Sting and Steven Borden help him win the AEW TNT Championship at AEW All In and would “absolutely” team with Borden at some point. Allin defeated Kevin Knight at the PPV after Sting and his son showed up to help even the odds in the match.

Allin spoke in the post-show media scrum about the win and how he wants to give Borden everything that Sting gave him. You can see highlights below:

On Having Sting and Steven Get Involved:

“Honestly though, having Sting out there? I never take it for granted. And the fact that Sting and his son could have this moment at Wembley on top of the ladder — I don’t even know if I can put that into words, the fact that they could share that in front of everybody.

“And to have Steven in the mix, just everything Sting gave me in my career, I want to give to Steven. Right when Steven caught the bug — because you gotta remember, Steven never wanted to be a wrestler growing up. And when he was at Sting’s last match at Revolution, it’s like, ‘I need this.’ And I told Steven, ‘You can come train with me.’ So I was having him train at my house… and everything Sting gave me, I want to give to Steven.

“It’s a great moment. And that’s family. It’s not just a character where me and Sting are a tag team; we talk every week. So I’m very grateful for that opportunity.”

On Potentially Teaming With Steven:

“100%. Whenever it is time, 100%. That is how this story gets full circle. Just like I teamed with Sting. At some point, if it lines up, me and Steven, absolutely.”
