Sting has had a crazy couple of months in AEW when it comes to spots. He has took some serious bumps, including jumping from a barrier down onto the ground. Fans have joked that Sting has taken more out of Darby Allins playbook than Darby has from Sting.
The Hardys were guest on Talk is Jericho. They started speaking on the match with the Butcher, the Blade and Private Party. Then Jeff Hardy noted that Sting boldly pitched to perform the maneuver of they were too timid to go for.
“That swanton from the window ledge, it was so sketchy up there because it was not even a foot wide. Sting, that day, said, ‘If you don’t want to do it, I’ll do it. I’ll dive onto a group of people,’”

Matt Hardy said Darby Allin found a ledge that anyone could jump off from. Possibly landing on opponents. Sting overheard the two’s conversation, and boldy teased to jump from the ledge if Matt (or anyone) was uncomfortable during it.
“They were talking about it and Darby said, ‘I found this cool ledge that somebody can jump off of, maybe onto a bunch of guys.’ You can see Sting looking back and you can tell his wheels are turning.
He looks at me and he goes, very aggressively, ‘Matt, you don’t want to jump off that, do you?’ ‘Well, if it fits, I will. It’s not really my wheelhouse, but if it fits to where I jump off, I will.’ He goes, ‘I’m sorry, the reason I’m saying this is because I’ll do it if you want me to.’ Jeff had already been volunteered by Darby to do it with the swanton.”

Of course it is probably for the best that Sting did not try this high risk spot, but its also not a good idea for Jeff to be doing these spots anymore going forward. What do you think of this? Let us know in the comments section and on our social media pages.
