After a long wait, Sting is back on AEW Dynamite programming and he perhaps inserted himself into a championship angle. Besides, his involvement in the show has also confirmed a major title defense for next week.
As seen on the May 31 episode of AEW Dynamite, the team of Darby Allin and Orange Cassidy got the win over two-thirds of the Ring of Honor Six-Man Tag Team Champions, Kaun and Toa Liona, better known as Gates of Agony.

Sting returned to Save Allin and Cassidy
But the winners couldn’t enjoy their victory as Swerve Strickland and the rest of the Mogul Embassy surrounded Cassidy and Allin. As they look forward to giving the winners, a beatdown, this prompted Allin’s mentor and WWE Hall of Famer Sting, to come to the aid of the two babyfaces. The heels ultimately retreated from the ring.

Orange Cassidy’s next title defense set
As a result of what transpired on AEW Dynamite, Orange Cassidy will defend his International Championship against Swerve Strickland, next week on Dynamite. For months now, the “Freshly Squeezed” AEW wrestler had proven his worth to be the most daring champion of the locker room.
In the latest instance, Cassidy didn’t fear putting his title on the line in a match against twenty AEW wrestlers. He overcame all the odds in a 21-man Blackjack Battle Royal at Double or Nothing 2023 to retain his championship.

Sting’s AEW Dynamite return could mark his final stint
As for Sting, the legendary name had not wrestled on AEW Dynamite since March. In his last match, Sting teamed with Allin and Cassidy to defeat The Butcher, The Blade, and Kip Sabian in a six-man tag match.
Following the win over Gates of Agony, Cassidy and Allin are likely to be the new contenders for the ROH Six Man Tag Team Titles. Now that Sting has returned and he also shares a history with the team, there are chances that the WCW icon will be competing for the tag titles, down the road.
As Sting returned on AEW Dynamite, many have the belief that this could turn out to be the final stint of his career. The former WCW World Heavyweight Champion himself admitted that as the conclusion of his career draws near, he hopes that Darby Allin should be involved in his final in-ring tenure in some fashion.
