The former World Championship
Wrestling icon interfered in the main
event match featuring Team Cena and
Team Authority and confronted Triple H.
After an intense stare down, the 55-
year-old laid out the WWE’s top villain
with his patented “Scorpion Death Drop.”
With WrestleMania 31 just five
months away, all signs point to a match
between two guys who both worked for
WCW in 1994.
Wrestling fans have been craving for a
Sting match at WrestleMania — but with
The Undertaker instead of Triple H.
Problem is, there has been no mention of
The Undertaker on WWE programming
since his surprising loss at WrestleMania
30 to Brock Lesnar. The loss was The
Undertaker's first at WrestleMania in 22
matches. With the "Dead Man" likely not
in the picture anytime soon, the 13-time
world champion will have to do.
When WWE acquired WCW in 2001,
many top wrestlers made the switch to
the once-rival promotion. Sting decided
not to work for Vince McMahon and he
was a real afterthought until signing with
Total Nonstop Action Wrestling in 2003.
He was TNA’s inaugural Hall of Fame
inductee in 2012, where he feuded with
former WWE greats Hulk Hogan, Kurt
Angle and Jeff Jarrett. Following his
departure from the company earlier this
year, Sting appeared in an April WWE
documentary on the late Ultimate
Warrior. Two months later, 2K Sports
announced that Sting would be featured
as a playable character in its WWE 2K15
video game.
And if you’re wondering why the WWE
decided to roll out such a major debut at
Survivor Series, you can thank the
struggling WWE Network subscription
numbers. With stockholders upset about
the network not meeting expectations,
the WWE has made the digital network,
which carried the Survivor Series,
available for free during the month of
November. Rolling out Sting feels like a
Hail Mary move in hopes of attracting
the casual fan to stick with the service.
