I want to be MJF to make it really interesting,” Long said. “If you go in there with Jericho, you have to go, you know, you have to roll. It’s the same with MJF.

Sting has not appeared in a singles match since 2015 when he fought Seth Rollins in WWE. Since joining AEW in late 2020, “Icon” has teamed with Darby Allin in 15 tag team and multi-man matches. In a late 2022 interview with The Ringer, Sting claimed that his final match would be against Allin, but not in a singles match.
