Sting’s sons are officially following in their father’s footsteps, and they just picked up their first victory together. Steven Borden and his brother Garrett stepped into the ring as a tag team for the first time on November 8, 2026, and they made sure their debut didn’t end with a loss.
The brothers competed at Rhodes Wrestling Association’s Fall Fury 2026 event in Cedar Park, Texas, where they faced The 8th Day, consisting of Timur The Great and Oday Al-Saleh. Steven and Garrett came out on top, giving the sons of the WWE Hall of Famer their first win as a team.
And this wasn’t some random match thrown together at the last minute. The whole thing started back in September when Garrett was attacked by The 8th Day after winning a singles match. Steven rushed out to save his brother, and the two eventually challenged their attackers to a tag team showdown. Dustin Rhodes made the match happen at RWA’s second-anniversary show, giving the brothers their first opportunity to compete together as an official team.
Steven has already been getting plenty of attention in AEW. He made his televised wrestling debut on the September 9 Rebel Heart edition of Dynamite, teaming with Darby Allin to defeat Josh Alexander and Mark Davis.
However, his early wrestling career hasn’t been without some scary moments. As Ringside News previously covered, Steven’s match at AEW All Out on September 26 was abruptly stopped after a nasty head collision with Kevin Knight left him knocked out. Steven later confirmed that he suffered a concussion and admitted that being forced to sit out was frustrating because he felt physically fine. He eventually returned to action after recovering.
Garrett has been building his own wrestling career, too. He made his professional debut in May at Rhodes Wrestling Association, defeating Brandon Barretta while training under Dustin Rhodes. He also made his AEW in-ring debut on September 19, defeating Kiran Grey in a dark match before Collision. While Garrett hasn’t competed in a televised AEW match yet, he’s already getting experience alongside his younger brother.
Of course, both brothers have a pretty famous example to follow. Sting retired at AEW Revolution 2024, where Steven and Garrett helped celebrate their father’s legendary career by appearing in different versions of his iconic face paint and ring gear.
Now, more than two years after watching their father hang up his boots, Steven and Garrett are getting victories of their own. Their first tag team match ended exactly how they wanted, and with Steven already signed to AEW, it wouldn’t be surprising if the brothers eventually got another opportunity to work together on a bigger stage.
Would you like to see Steven and Garrett Borden become a regular tag team in AEW, or should they continue building their careers separately? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
