Posted: May 18th 2026 By: Rosanne Raphael
Sting’s elder son, Garrett Borden competed in his debut wrestling match at Rhodes Wrestling Association on May 17.
He faced Brandon Barretta at the promotion’s Final Reckoning event. Garrett used Sting’s signature Stinger Splash on Barretta to get the win in his first pro wrestling match.
Garrett’s younger brother, Steven made his NJPW debut a couple of months ago at Academy Showcase. They hyped their wrestling careers shortly after Sting’s retirement in 2024. Garrett and Steven made a few appearances for matches in his career, and paid tribute on his final match in AEW.
Garrett’s wife also trained at the Rhodes Wrestling Academy where she competes as Jael. Currently she is on hiatus but is actively involved in community outreach for AEW. Rhodes Wrestling Academy is operated by AEW’s Dustin Rhodes.
