Anthony Davis and Sting gave Darby Allin the kind of television setup that only works when the people involved already trust each other.

Anthony Davis and Sting teamed up on Foul Play with Anthony Davis to prank AEW World Champion Darby Allin, and the result was more than a simple celebrity crossover.

The hidden-camera segment leaned into a fake police setup, with Sting caught in the chaos, a taser moment, and Allin pulled into a scenario that felt built for his nervous, fearless energy.

This worked because Sting and Allin were not two random wrestling names dropped into a TBS comedy bit. Their AEW story has real weight behind it.

They became AEW World Tag Team Champions together, and Allin was beside Sting for Sting’s retirement match against The Young Bucks at AEW Revolution 2024.

That is why the prank had a better punchline than most athlete guest spots. Sting once called Allin his greatest tag team partner, then turned around and helped Anthony Davis put him through national television madness.

The contrast is the joke. A relationship built on trust, danger, and legacy became the foundation for Sting to make Allin believe everything had gone completely wrong.

The timing also helped. AEW World Champion Darby Allin did not appear on the show as a nostalgia act or a side character.

He appeared while heading into a title defence against “Speedball” Mike Bailey, which kept him visible outside the normal rhythm of AEW programming.

That is the real value of the segment. Davis brought the mainstream sports frame, Sting brought the emotional AEW history, and Allin brought the kind of unpredictable presence that makes a hidden-camera prank feel natural rather than forced.

It was funny because Sting knew exactly who he was pranking. It mattered because Allin is now important enough for that joke to play beyond wrestling television.
