Legendary wrestler Sting is rumored to be signing on with WWE to wrestle in one match against The Undertaker at WrestleMania 31 in 2015.
Sting, 55, began wrestling professionally in 1985 and spent his career signed with NWA, WCW and TNA Impact Wrestling. He was dropped when WWE accumulated WCW.
The rumor comes from notes by Dave Meltzer in the subscription required Wreslting Observer Newsletter that suggested WWE was working on bringing Sting in for the event.
“Regarding Sting, there is a working idea that he does one WWE match and then retires, which everyone presumes at this point will be with Undertaker at WresleMania 31 in Santa Clara. Whether this is made clear at Mania itself, at Raw the next day, or at some point closer to the show is unclear. Right now the only thing confirmed is the idea is Sting will do one last match [sic],” reads the note.
Pitting wrestling heavyweights Sting and The Undertaker against each other could attract a lot of viewers, reports suggest, providing a nice ratings boost to WWE. Furthermore, the very rumor of a possible announcement from WrestleMania 30 next week could draw viewers. Rumor is that Sting himself could appear to make the announcement.
Brock Lesnar will battle the Undertaker in next week’s WrestleMania 30 in New Orleans.
