Tony Khan has addressed the possibility of Sting making an appearance at the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony.
In what many fans felt to be a long overdue announcement, Lex Luger will be one of the inductees in the 2025 Hall of Fame class. Given his close friendship with both Sting and Diamond Dallas Page, Luger has stated in many interviews since the announcement that he would love to have them both alongside him for the big night. However, with Sting currently under contract with AEW, it is not a certainty that The Icon could appear at the WWE event. While Luger was in attendance for Sting’s final match at AEW Revolution 2024, he was not shown on camera per the rules of his WWE legends deal.
Although fans have called for Sting to be allowed to appear given his relationship with Luger, WWE is still AEW’s competitor. While speaking on the media call ahead of AEW Dynasty, Khan stated that while he has fond memories of Sting, the topic of the Hall of Fame ceremony has not come up in recent conversation:
“I’m not sure. I’m very focused on AEW Dynasty which is a few days away. I talked to Sting recently before AEW Revolution, looking back on some great memories. Of course, it’s hard to think of AEW Revolution without thinking of Sting. He debuted in AEW at Revolution and then ended his career at Revolution 3 years later so I’ll always think of Sting at Revolution season.
We caught up on the phone right around the pay-per-view and that was the last time we had spoken so haven’t heard from him about that. Certainly he’s doing very well and that relationship and that friendship means so much to me, and we’re all very grateful for Sting. […] I have to say the last time I talked to Sting, that didn’t come up but would have to talk to him about that.”
