"The Icon" and Allin have been in a partnership since late 2020. The last time the two teamed together was on the September 22 episode of "AEW Rampage," where Sting and Allin defeated current AEW TNT Champion Christian Cage and Luchasaurus. Their current feud with Cage, Luchasaurus, and their former friend Nick Wayne has set them up for a match at AEW Full Gear on November 18. Sting and Allin's tag team partner has yet to be revealed, but there's a high possibility it'll be Copeland. On this past episode of "Dynamite," Sting confronted Copeland about not wanting to hurt his former "best friend" Cage.
