“Kudos to John. He’s one of the greatest of all time. I love to see it. I’m rooting for him. I’m hoping it turns out to be phenomenal, I’m sure that it will. I’m always rooting for those older guys, you know. Go Aaron Rodgers,” he said, referring to the NFL star.

Sting got to interact with Cena during his brief run in WWE. On the September 14, 2015 edition of Raw the two teamed up to defeat Seth Rollins and The Big Show in a tag team match. The match was held just days before Night of Champions where Sting suffered a neck injury while wrestling Seth Rollins, which kept him out of action until his AEW debut years later.

At his own retirement match back at AEW Revolution 2024, Sting teamed with Darby Allin to defeat The Young Bucks.
