Sting’s son Steven Borden tried to save Darby Allin from a Don Callis Family beatdown—but his help completely backfired. Borden rushed into the fight during the September 2 episode of AEW Dynamite, only to get blindsided by a returning Josh Alexander.
The chaos started after Allin successfully defended the AEW TNT Championship against Mark Davis. Davis attacked Allin before the bell and continued beating him around ringside. Allin eventually turned things around, sending Davis into the commentary desk with a dive before connecting with the Coffin Drop to retain his title.
The Don Callis Family immediately made sure Allin couldn’t celebrate. Trent Beretta and Rocky Romero hit the ring and attacked the TNT Champion after the match. That brought out Steven Borden.
Borden charged into the ring and dropped both Romero and Beretta with dropkicks. Sting’s son then stood across from Davis and looked ready to continue the fight despite the massive size difference.
That’s when everything fell apart. Josh Alexander made his return and blindsided Borden from behind before beating him down. Alexander then turned his attention to Allin and trapped the TNT Champion in the Ankle Lock.
Alexander, Davis, Beretta and Romero ended the segment standing tall over Allin and Borden. What began as Borden’s attempt to even the odds instead left both men laid out at the feet of the Don Callis Family.
Borden showed no fear when he ran into the ring, but his rescue attempt only gave the Don Callis Family another target. Sting’s son wanted to protect his father’s longtime ally, and now he may have dragged himself directly into Allin’s war.
