An Update On The Condition Of Sting After The Attack By The Aces & Eights on IMPACT

On Thursday’s IMPACT WRESTLING broadcast, “The Icon” Sting was brutally attacked during his tag team match with Kurt Angle against Aces & Eights members Devon and DOC! The Aces & Eights enforcer put Sting through a table, then smashed him multiple times with a hammer, only backing down when Chavo, Hernandez and Samoa Joe came to Sting’s aid! After the assault, Sting was immediately attended to by medical personnel and taken to a local Orlando hospital.

Early Friday morning, TNA President Dixie Carter ( @TNADixie ) posted an update on Sting via Twitter, “Update on @Sting. He was kept overnight in the hospital for evaluation. Doctors are cautious on setting timetable for his return to the ring.”

Note from Wayne: There has been some discussion as to whether Sting will be returning to action or whether the company wrote him out last night, as his contract with the company is due to expire at the end of the year.
