With all that in mind, Ray believes Sting is nearing the end of his career regardless. He even thinks that going out against Jericho in front of 70,000 people or so at All In in London, England would be a nice way to do it. But, could AEW go even bigger? Perhaps.

“I think they’ve maxed out the AEW fan right now across Europe. I think the ticket sales will continue to trickle in. Do I think Sting versus Jericho is going to put this way over the top? No,” Ray admitted. He suggests that fans are buying a ticket to All In because AEW coming to Wembley Stadium is a potentially once-in-a-lifetime experience. Having Jericho and Sting fight each other — two wrestlers who are already with AEW — doesn’t really change much in his eyes.

“I already know I’m getting Jericho … I already know I’m getting Sting,” Ray said. “Sting versus Jericho? Well, I already bought a ticket because I know they’re part of the company.” So if building to that match wouldn’t be enough for neutral fans to buy a ticket, what would be? Would the idea of CM Punk facing Adam “Hangman” Page again change people’s minds? “I’m gonna go with Jericho and Sting with the stipulation,” Ray answered. “The AEW fan is a fan of Punk and a fan of Sting. I think there’s a lot more Sting fans out there worldwide who not only do they want to say that they were at this first time ever in Wembley for AEW, but I might want to be there for the last time ever to see Sting.”
