Garrett and Steven Borden, the sons of Sting, won their first match together as a tag team on Sunday, Nov. 8. They beat The 8th Day at Rhodes Wrestling Association's second anniversary show, Fall Fury II. Wrestling Inc reported it on Monday, Nov. 9.

What happened

The brothers were introduced as "second generation wrestlers" who were "tagging for the first time tonight," per Wrestling Inc. Garrett ended the match with a TKO. Wrestling Inc says they also used the Scorpion Drop and Stinger Splashes, moves their father made famous. We did not see the match and have no time or other detail on the finish.

Dustin Rhodes' Instagram post promoting the show, as we saw it in a search excerpt, said the brothers would make their tag debut on Nov. 8 in Cedar Park, Texas. Wrestling Inc did not give a venue.

Background

Wrestling Inc says the show also featured wrestlers from AEW and ROH, plus Lance Archer, Thunder Rosa, The Von Erichs, Mance Warner and Robyn Renegade. RWA is owned by Rhodes, who is also a second-generation wrestler. Rhodes' promo for the show advertised the first-ever RWA Lonestar Champion being crowned. We have no result for it.

The brothers went to the ring with their father for his last match, at AEW Revolution in 2024, dressed as "Surfer Sting" and "Wolfpac Sting," per Wrestling Inc. Wrestling Inc says Garrett made his RWA debut last May and had a dark match when AEW was in Winston-Salem, N.C., before Collision. Steven wrestled his first Blood and Guts match on AEW Dynamite last Wednesday, per the same report. See our Blood and Guts results.

What is next

Neither brother, RWA nor AEW has said whether they will team again. We found no announcement.
