Sting Says AEW “Felt Like Home” Compared to WWE and TNA

Sting isn’t shy about where he felt most comfortable during his decades-spanning career—and it wasn’t WWE or TNA.

In a new interview on Going Ringside, the legendary performer opened up about his experiences across wrestling’s top companies and gave a rare, unfiltered answer about what really made AEW stand apart. When asked to compare his time in WWE, TNA, and AEW, the wrestling icon didn’t mince words. He acknowledged each promotion had its own vibe but made it very clear which one felt like his personal stomping ground.

“They’re all different in some ways. But the thing that I liked about AEW is it just felt like my brand. It just felt—felt like home to me.”

Sting then turned his attention to Tony Khan, the man responsible for bringing him into AEW and giving him one final chapter that fans never saw coming. And if anyone doubted how the Stinger feels about working with the AEW boss, his next words should shut that down completely.

“He was the best. He was phenomenal. Treated me like gold the whole way through. And yeah, I mean, yeah, if it wasn’t for Tony, I wouldn’t have had the run that I had.”

This is a powerful endorsement from someone who’s seen it all—from WCW to TNA to WWE to AEW. And for Sting, AEW wasn’t just a place to work—it was a place where he could close out his career on his own terms, with creative support and mutual respect.

With Sting’s final matches fast approaching, it’s clear that his AEW legacy won’t just be about matches or moments—it’ll be about belonging.
