Tony Khan & Sting settled on Greensboro, North Carolina as the host of AEW Revolution 2024 and site of The Icon’s last match before he retired from the ring. They did so because of his history there — namely his battles with Ric Flair at the Greensboro Coliseum — and all the great pro wrestling that’s happened in the town over the years.
The city and the venue were appreciative of the choice. Greensboro commemorated yesterday’s PPV by officially proclaiming March 3 “Thank You Sting Day” in The Gate City. Sting was informed of that honor at the same time he and others who were involved in his farewell match — namely Khan, tag partner Darby Allin, sidekick for the night Flair, and announcers Tony Schiavone and Jim Ross — were gifted custom engraved black baseball bats by the Coliseum.
Talk about an ICON-ic night!

Schiavone’s is my personal favorite. Who wouldn’t want to be known as the Greensboro G.O.A.T.?
Sting’s weapon of choice is the iconic black baseball bat, so we decided to gift @Sting, @DarbyAllin, @ricFlairNatrBoy, @TonyKhan, @tonyschiavone24, and @JRsBBQ these custom, full-size, engraved baseball bats to commemorate tonight’s ICON-ic event! #AEWRevolution pic.twitter.com/b9ll5OrZqW

Very cool. Congrats again to the Stinger and all involved in making Revolution such a special night.
Now to start making plans for “Thank You Sting Day” 2025…
