Sting would retire from the ring initially in 2016, but is currently still active in AEW.
While speaking in a new D Magazine feature by Mike Piellucc, Sting revealed that he felt WWE pressured him to retire in 2016. That being said, Sting admitted that he wasn’t “forced” and “nobody made me do it.”
