Sting made a stunning return to AEW at All In at Wembley Stadium, helping Darby Allin overcome outside interference before Allin defeated Kevin Knight to become the new AEW TNT Champion.
Darby Allin vs. Kevin Knight (c) (AEW TNT Championship Falls Count Anywhere Match)
The Falls Count Anywhere encounter quickly became one of the wildest matches of the night, with Allin and Knight using tables, chairs, steel steps and the surrounding Wembley environment throughout their championship battle.
Knight gained an early advantage after striking Allin in the back of the head with the TNT Championship before the fight spilled around ringside.
Allin responded by dropkicking a table into Knight's face before the champion later launched himself from the ring with a springboard lariat onto Allin across the announce desk.
Things became even more chaotic when Brian Cage and Jake Doyle interfered and taped Allin's hands behind his back.
Steven Borden then appeared and attempted to even the odds, taking the fight to Cage and Doyle before eventually being powerbombed through a table.
With Allin still in serious trouble, the lights suddenly went out.
When they came back on, Sting was at Wembley.

The Icon entered carrying his trademark baseball bat and immediately went after Cage and Doyle before turning his attention towards Knight.
Sting handed the bat to Allin, allowing his longtime ally to attack Knight, before Sting delivered his famous Scorpion Death Drop.
The memorable return continued when Steven Borden joined his father in the ring. The pair set up a ladder before Steven climbed to the top and launched himself onto Cage and Doyle on the floor.
Sting and his son then took Cage and Doyle away, allowing Allin and Knight to settle the TNT Championship match themselves.
Knight attempted to escape up the entrance ramp, but Allin followed him onto the stage.
After sending Knight into part of the lighting rig, Allin climbed high above the stage before delivering an incredible Coffin Drop from an estimated 20 to 30 feet, sending Knight crashing through the stage.
Knight was subsequently placed onto a stretcher, but Allin was not finished.
Darby delivered another Coffin Drop from the stage onto Knight and the stretcher before securing the victory.
Darby Allin defeated Kevin Knight by pinfall to become the new AEW TNT Champion.
The victory gave Allin another major championship moment at Wembley, while Sting's surprise appearance provided one of the biggest reactions of AEW All In.
NEVER SEEN THAT EVER IN AEW
