Steven Borden might be following in his father’s footsteps after all.
Darby Allin told Fightful in a yet-to-be-released interview that Sting’s son has been staying with him and training to be a wrestler. He’s reportedly been sleeping in a tent set up in Allin’s yard and training in a ring Allin has at his house.
Steven Borden was “Wolfpac Sting” during his father’s final match at AEW Revolution earlier this year.
In February, Allin told Digital Spy that he’d asked Sting about his sons possibly training to wrestle and Sting responded that they weren’t interested.
They’re not interested at all. I’ve asked [Sting] I was like, ‘I’m just curious, I really want to know have your sons ever tried this?’ And he said, ‘No, they’re not interested.’
It just wasn’t a thing that they wanted to do, but I was curious because they’re pretty big dudes. They should get together, become a tag team – that would be cool.
That changed for Steven after he performed with his father and brother Garrett at Revolution. He told Comicbook.com in March that his future in wrestling had become “murky.”
“I just always liked leaving it as my dad’s thing. I never really had much interest in stepping into his world. I thought that was his thing. I would say it’s mostly still similar, but that said, maybe in the last six months to a year that answer has gotten a little bit more murky,” he said.
Borden played tight end for the University of Kentucky in the 2013 and 2014 seasons. He’s been the general manager of SAGA Fitness since July 2021 and regularly posts fitness tips to his 12k followers on Instagram.
