Don Callis has a watch for younger good-looking males. That’s why his consideration is on Sting’s son. Callis desires to breed him right into a champion. The query was how Steven Borden would reply to that recruitment pitch.
The scene unfolded on AEW Collision (Aug. 29, 2026). TNT champion Kevin Knight had the mic to speak trash about Darby Allin previous to their Falls Count Anywhere match at All In. Allin hasn’t been seen in AEW because the pyro explosion on the ramp. Allin was stretchered out in an ambulance. Knight questioned the place Allin was.
A hooded intruder rushed into the ring to assault Knight. The Callis Family goons had been fast to corral that man and reveal him to be… It’s Sting Jr.! That’s when Callis went into his gross sales pitch.
The Callis Family isn’t only a household. It is a star manufacturing facility. Callis thinks Borden has the athletic potential to be higher than his father. But, that received’t occur taking recommendation from that little puke Allin. Callis flipped the script to accuse Borden of being taken with becoming a member of the Callis Family. Why else would Borden be out right here? Surely, it wasn’t to get his ass beat by the Callis Family.
Borden grabbed the mic to precise a message from Allin. Allin can be at All In, and he’ll take the TNT title from Knight. The Jet didn’t like these phrases, so he socked Borden.
AEW is easing Borden on display. This was his first piece of mic time, and he added some physicality. There are issues to work on, like projecting his voice higher when talking. The cadence and perspective had been good although for his function.
