After months of rumors, "The Icon" Sting has appeared on AEW TV for the first time with a thrilling debut on this week's Dynamite.

It all went down as Darby Allin and Cody Rhodes -- with "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson in their corner -- were taking on Team Taz members Ricky Starks and Powerhouse Hobbs. Taz himself was also was at ringside.

Needless to say, both Taz and Arn got involved, and things got a little messy ... and then the lights went out.

Sting then made his down the ramp and made the save, shocking everyone in the arena.

Tantalizingly, "The Icon" squared up to TNT Champion Darby Allin.

Following the segment, the Dynamite commentary team confirmed that Tony Khan had signed Sting to a multi-year contract.
