It’s now or never for fans hoping to meet Sting in full costume. Last week, Sting announced that 2025 will be the final year he appears in full gear at conventions. Today, he followed up with a list of scheduled appearances for this year. So far, 13 conventions have been confirmed, with more dates to be added soon. He is branding it as the “2025 or Never” tour.
Current list of dates:
- 31 January – WrestleCon, Indianapolis, Indiana
- 8 February – MEGACON, Orlando, Florida
- 15 February – For the Love of Wrestling, Manchester, England
- 8 March – Lexington Comic & Toy Con, Lexington, Kentucky

While Sting will continue making convention appearances beyond 2025, he will no longer be appearing in full costume. Sting retired from the ring in March 2024, with his final match taking place at AEW Revolution. He bowed out in style, teaming with Darby Allin to defeat The Young Bucks. Despite stepping away from in-ring competition, Sting remains part of AEW, having signed a multi-year licensing deal with the promotion.
Currently residing in Texas, Sting is expected to attend AEW’s All In pay-per-view this July, which will be held at Globe Life Field in Arlington.
