Sting wrestled his final match during AEW Revolution on pay-per-view. He and Darby Allin won the match, and Sting will retire a champion. Now, WWE is speaking out on the matter.
Although WWE remained radio silent about Sting's retirement, even not allowing AEW to use footage of The Icon that they owned, Michael Cole gave Sting his flowers during the first match on RAW this week.
During RAW this week, as GUNTHER was gearing up for his match, Michael Cole was able to give Sting some love. He mentioned Sting's retirement and congratulated him in the process.
"GUNTHER has been a great champion, and I want to send out our congratulations to another great champion, after 40 years, the great Sting has retired from professional wrestling. Thanks for the memories, congratulations to Sting."

Pat McAfee them chimed in to say, "Absolutely epic match last night." They did not mention AEW, or AEW Revolution. That being said, everyone know what happened last night on pay-per-view.
WWE referencing not only Sting, but his ‘epic match’ from an AEW pay-per-view, shows just how much respect the icon has earned across all walks of the industry.
Cody Rhodes also threw in a little name-drop for Sting during his first promo of the night. This was not lost on fans, either.

WWE got some grief from fans for not giving Sting any love during his retirement match. They certainly took care of that on RAW this week.
