Garrett Borden, Sting’s Son, Makes Pro Wrestling Debut At Dustin Rhodes’ Indie Promotion

Another member of Sting’s family has officially entered the wrestling world.

Garrett Borden, the son of WWE Hall of Famer and AEW legend Sting, recently made his in-ring debut at a Rhodes Wrestling Association event in Texas. Footage of the match surfaced online early Monday through JJA Sport Studio on X, giving fans their first look at Garrett in action.

The Rhodes Wrestling Association is operated by AEW veteran Dustin Rhodes, who also runs the Rhodes Wrestling Academy. In the clip making the rounds online, Garrett faced Brandon Barretta and showcased several moves tied closely to his father’s legacy. Among the highlights were multiple Sting Splashes and a big clothesline before he finished the bout with a Torture Rack-style Samoan Drop — a move that many fans connected to Lex Luger, Sting’s longtime friend and tag team partner.

Garrett’s wrestling debut comes as somewhat of a surprise, as there had been little public indication that he was training for a career in the business. His brother, Steven Borden, has been more visible on the wrestling scene over the last year after training alongside names like Darby Allin and FTR. Steven has already competed in dark matches for AEW and appeared for independent promotions including DEFY and Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling.

While Garrett’s training background hasn’t been confirmed, there is already a family connection to Dustin Rhodes’ school. Garrett’s wife, Kaetlyn Borden, previously trained under Rhodes and competed as “Jael” for the Rhodes Wrestling Association, Ring of Honor, and several other promotions before later transitioning into a backstage role with AEW.

Although this was Garrett’s first official match, longtime wrestling fans may remember seeing him years ago during Sting’s run in TNA Wrestling. He was briefly involved in a storyline with Jeff Jarrett during the mid-2000s. More recently, Garrett appeared alongside Steven during Sting’s retirement run in AEW in 2024.

The brothers played a memorable role at Sting’s final match at AEW Revolution, where they helped neutralize The Young Bucks after weeks of attacks on their father. Steven appeared dressed as Wolfpack Sting, while Garrett paid tribute to Sting’s classic Surfer Sting look during the surprise appearance.

With both of Sting’s sons now stepping into the wrestling spotlight, it’ll be interesting to see whether Garrett continues pursuing an in-ring career moving forward.

Report: Baron Corbin (Bishop Dyer) Could Be Headed Back To WWE

A possible WWE comeback may be in the works for former United States Champion Baron Corbin, who has been competing outside the company under the name Bishop Dyer since his 2024 release.

According to recent reports, Corbin’s name has quietly resurfaced in WWE discussions. Dave Meltzer first mentioned over the weekend that there were rumors of Corbin potentially re-signing with the company. Fightful Select has since added that internal speculation about a return has reportedly been circulating backstage for several weeks.

While nothing is finalized, one WWE source reportedly described the idea as “out of left field,” noting that a deal is far from confirmed. Even so, the report states that Corbin’s name has definitely been brought up internally.

Since leaving WWE, Corbin has stayed active across several promotions. Over the last two years, he has spent time in Major League Wrestling while also making appearances for companies including CMLL, Maple Leaf Pro, and World Series Wrestling. Earlier this year, he even worked a dark match at an AEW Dynamite taping thanks to not being under an exclusive MLW contract.

Corbin also teamed with former WWE talent Donovan Dijak during his MLW run, though the report noted there has been no similar internal discussion regarding Dijak potentially returning to WWE.

Despite his departure from the company in 2024, Fightful reported that Corbin has remained on good terms with WWE officials and talent. Several sources reportedly indicated they would not be shocked to see him back in the fold eventually.

Corbin originally signed with WWE in 2012 and went on to become one of the company’s most recognizable mid-card names over the next decade. During his tenure, he captured the United States Championship, won the King of the Ring tournament, and held the Money in the Bank briefcase.

At this point, there is no word on when or where a possible return could happen, but the rumors surrounding Corbin’s WWE future are beginning to gain momentum.

WWE’s IYO SKY Reveals Marriage To Former IWGP Heavyweight Champion Naraku (EVIL)

WWE star IYO SKY has officially announced that she is married to fellow WWE talent Naraku, the performer previously known to wrestling fans as EVIL during his run in New Japan Pro-Wrestling.

SKY shared the news on social media by posting a wedding photo alongside a heartfelt statement from the couple. The announcement quickly drew attention across the wrestling world, especially given both stars’ long histories in the Japanese wrestling scene before arriving in WWE.

In their statement, the pair reflected on how their wrestling journeys began in Japan before eventually bringing them together on the same stage in WWE.

They spoke about supporting one another not only as WWE Superstars, but also as husband and wife, promising to continue growing together while chasing even greater success in the industry. The message also thanked fans and industry peers who have supported them throughout their careers.

IYO SKY has become one of WWE’s top international stars since signing with the company in 2018. After making waves in the Mae Young Classic and NXT, she eventually rose to championship success on the main roster and established herself as one of the standout performers in WWE’s women’s division.

Naraku is still in the early stages of his WWE run, having only recently debuted in NXT by confronting NXT Champion Tony D’Angelo. Before joining WWE, he built a major reputation in NJPW under the ring name EVIL, where he captured the IWGP Heavyweight Championship and became one of the promotion’s most recognizable stars.

Both competitors also share deep roots in Japan’s wrestling landscape. While Naraku found success in NJPW, SKY became one of STARDOM’s defining names, earning multiple championship reigns and recognition as one of the promotion’s top stars.

The announcement marks one of the biggest real-life wrestling relationship reveals in recent memory, with fans across WWE and Japanese wrestling communities already sending congratulations to the newly married couple.

Marty Jannetty Reportedly Undergoes Foot Amputation Following Battle With Sepsis

Former WWE Superstar Marty Jannetty has reportedly had his right foot amputated after dealing with serious health complications connected to sepsis.

The update was shared by Eddy Mansfield during a recent appearance on the Monte & The Pharaoh podcast. Mansfield, who described Jannetty as a close friend, revealed the news while discussing the former Rockers star’s ongoing medical struggles.

“One of my dearest friends ever on the face of this earth, and was a great wrestler, had his foot amputated, and his name is Marty Jannetty,” Mansfield said.

Jannetty previously opened up about his health issues in July 2025, revealing that he had been battling sepsis for roughly three years. At the time, doctors reportedly informed him that amputation of his infected ankle could become necessary.

Despite being told the procedure could provide immediate relief, Jannetty initially chose against moving forward with the amputation.

According to Mansfield’s latest comments, the situation has now escalated to the point where Jannetty ultimately underwent surgery to remove the foot.

During the podcast appearance, Mansfield also criticized WWE for what he viewed as a lack of support for the former tag team star during his health battle.

“Where in the hell was WWE to help Marty Jannetty? He made them millions of dollars, and you can’t help him when he’s in the biggest need of his life, fighting for his life. I don’t understand that,” Mansfield stated.

He continued by pointing to WWE and TKO’s financial success while arguing that more could have been done for former talent facing severe medical issues.

“These guys in WWE can get all these pay raises and all this other cr*p, screw the wrestling fans out of a bunch of damn money for tickets, but you can’t take care of the guys who make you the money.”

Jannetty became a household name during WWE’s Rockers tag team run alongside Shawn Michaels in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The team remains one of the most memorable duos of that era.

The news also comes less than a year after former WCW star Buff Bagwell underwent a leg amputation related to injuries and complications stemming from a 2020 car accident.

Former WWE Star Fabian Aichner (AKA Giovanni Vinci) Debuts On TNA Thursday Night iMPACT!

A familiar face to WWE fans officially resurfaced on Thursday night, as Fabian Aichner made his debut appearance for TNA Wrestling during iMPACT!.

Previously known to WWE audiences as Giovanni Vinci, Aichner appeared immediately following Cedric Alexander’s X-Division Championship victory over Leon Slater. The former Imperium member received a noticeable reaction when his music hit, stepping onto the stage and locking eyes with the newly crowned champion.

The moment quickly made Aichner’s intentions clear — he has his sights set on the X-Division Title.

The debut marks Aichner’s first wrestling appearance since the closing stretch of his WWE run in late 2024. His final matches with the company included a short loss to Apollo Crews on SmackDown and several dark match defeats before ultimately being released.

Despite the rough ending to his WWE tenure, Aichner recently spoke positively about the next phase of his career. In an interview conducted shortly after his release, he admitted the situation initially felt like an opportunity to recharge after years on the road. At the time, he also hinted that he wasn’t rushing back into wrestling immediately — though his surprise TNA debut suggests plans may already have been in motion behind the scenes.

Aichner originally signed with WWE in 2017 after making an impression in the 2016 Cruiserweight Classic tournament. During his time with the company, he became best known as part of Imperium alongside Gunther, Ludwig Kaiser, and Alexander Wolfe. He also captured the NXT Tag Team Championships twice during his WWE career.

Now entering TNA’s X-Division scene, Aichner could immediately become one of the brand’s top power-based challengers. A future showdown with Cedric Alexander would present an interesting clash of styles, especially with Alexander coming off a major title victory.

TNA continues adding recognizable names to its roster, and Aichner’s arrival gives the X-Division another experienced veteran with international credibility.
