3 dream WWE matches for Sting that never happened — But should have!

Sting
had a short tenure in
WWE
, wrestling only a handful of matches.
Sting is one of the most renowned legends in the professional wrestling world. The man who carried WCW on his back for years was dubbed 'The Franchise' of the promotion.
After WCW closed down in 2001, Sting chose to explore the outside wrestling scene and not join the giant WWE.
However, after thirteen years, The Icon finally made his shocking debut in WWE at the 2014 Survivor Series event.
Upon his debut, Sting was used as a part-time attraction and wrestled a few matches against stars like Triple H and Seth Rollins. Despite putting up great performances against them, here are the three WWE matches he should be a part of:
3.
Bray Wyatt
At the time, Sting was a part of WWE; Bray Wyatt was captivating the WWE Universe with his dark antics, mysterious personality, and vision to take the whole world in his hands. In Sting's WrestleMania debut, Wyatt himself wrestled a legend like
The Undertaker
, which meant that he was poised for great success.
WWE should have explored a feud between Sting and Bray Wyatt after that, which would have been an exciting program to witness between the two dark forces.
2.
John Cena
Much like Sting, John Cena had been the Franchise Player in WWE. He was in the prime of his career during Sting's tenure in the Sports Entertainment juggernaut. Moreover, Cena and Sting even teamed up for a match on Monday Night RAW, which was a memorable sight to witness.
However, WWE should have had a battle between the franchises of WCW and WWE inside the squared circle, and it would have been a blockbuster showdown.
1. The Undertaker
The one dream match for Sting that the fans had been longing for years was his battle against the equally respected legend and character, The Undertaker. Both men were locked room leaders for WWE and WCW during the heights of the Monday Night Wars. While both men did wrestle during the early beginnings of their careers, they did not share the ring in their prime. In fact, during Sting's time in WWE, The Undertaker was still an active performer.
Yet, WWE still decided not to book this match. While it looked like it could happen at WrestleMania 31, WWE ultimately chose to go with Triple H as Sting's opponent instead of The Phenom.

SmackDown chaos: Aleister Black goes after Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker strikes

What began as a standard matchup quickly turned personal, violent, and headline-worthy. Aleister Black vs LA Knight interrupted by Seth Rollins Aleister Black and LA Knight were putting on a hard-hitting contest, with both stars trading signature moves in what looked like a potential show-stealer. LA Knight landed a Burning Hammer, while Black responded with a sliding knee and springboard moonsault. But before fans could witness a conclusion, Seth Rollins interrupted the match and delivered a Stomp to Knight, costing him a clean finish. Black, who suffered an eye injury years ago due to Rollins' former disciple Buddy Matthews, wasn't ready to let the moment slide. He confronted Rollins in the ring, reigniting a personal rivalry that WWE never fully resolved. Seth Rollins and company lay waste to LA Knight: SmackDown highlights, June 6, 2025 The tension between Black and Rollins was cut short when Bron Breakker blindsided Black with a brutal spear. The crowd's reaction turned to shock as Rollins' faction, including Breakker and Bronson Reed - continued the beatdown. Moments later, Knight was also taken out with a Senton and a spear, marking a total shutdown of two of Rollins' top Money in the Bank rivals. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like You Can Make Massive Side Income By Learning Order Flow Analysis TradeWise Learn More Undo The ambush didn't end there.

With Paul Heyman also appearing with the group earlier in the night, speculation about this being WWE's next dominant faction is growing louder. Social media lit up with passionate responses following the chaotic sequence. While some fans praised the intensity and storytelling, many were disappointed that a promising match between Aleister Black and LA Knight didn't get a proper finish. 'Match was cooking, Seth sees LA Knight as his biggest competition,' one fan wrote, highlighting the belief that Rollins is strategically targeting top threats before Money in the Bank. Another fan commented, 'Y'all couldn't just let a great match have a finish?' expressing frustration with what some see as overbooking. Meanwhile, a longtime viewer recalled, 'He kept that bad eye throughout his entire AEW run - thanks to Rollins when he gave the orders to Murphy, now Buddy Matthews.' The callback added emotional weight to Black's confrontation with Rollins. Despite criticism, the segment achieved its goal - fueling intrigue ahead of Saturday's ladder match.

Solo Sikoa's disrespectful remark may backfire: Jacob Fatu hints at betrayal
Image via WWE WWE's latest episode of SmackDown delivered a dramatic twist within The New Bloodline faction, as Solo Sikoa's leadership took a hit following a controversial backstage segment. The incident involved Sikoa speaking dismissively about United States Champion Jacob Fatu - calling him 'all gas and no brains' - a comment that Fatu overheard. The incident unfolded shortly after JC Mateo suffered a loss to Jimmy Uso. Blaming his defeat on Fatu, Mateo approached Sikoa backstage to express concern about Fatu's loyalty and performance. In an attempt to reassure Mateo, Solo claimed he had everything under control. However, his remarks soon turned condescending, mocking Fatu's intelligence and calling into question his place in the faction. Unbeknownst to the duo, Jacob Fatu had just entered the room and heard the entire exchange. The look on Fatu's face said it all, disappointment, anger, and perhaps a plan already forming. Jacob Fatu's history of sacrifice adds context to betrayal speculation This isn't the first time Jacob Fatu has taken a hit for The Bloodline. Just last week, during a Triple Threat MITB qualifier against Andrade and Carmelo Hayes, Fatu was moments away from victory after hitting his Mighty Moonsault. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Stylish New Mobility Scooters Available for Seniors (Take a Look) Mobility Scooter | Search Ads Search Now Undo But interference from Sikoa and Mateo distracted him long enough for Andrade to steal the pinfall. Jacob Fatu confronts Solo Sikoa | WWE SmackDown 5/30/2025 What followed was a visibly frustrated Fatu confronting his own stablemates, clearly unhappy with the repeated sabotage. Despite this, Fatu had remained loyal - standing tall with the group earlier in the night when they interrupted Seth Rollins and his Shield 2.0 stable. But after Sikoa's latest insult, fans are now convinced the United States Champion has had enough. Could MITB see a Samoan shake-up? With Money in the Bank set for Saturday night, speculation is swirling that Jacob Fatu could turn on Solo Sikoa during the match. After being insulted and sidelined, Fatu has plenty of reasons to retaliate - and the high-stakes ladder match may be the perfect stage. WWE's post of the backstage segment set social media on fire. Fans were quick to react, with comments like 'Solo done messed up' and 'That's a dangerous man thinking dangerous thoughts.' Many believe this moment is building toward a full-fledged Jacob Fatu face turn. If Fatu intervenes, it could shatter what's left of unity in The New Bloodline. Sikoa's leadership has already shown cracks, and betrayal from within would expose deeper instability. For Fatu, it could mark a breakout moment - both as a solo performer and as a potential future main-eventer. Whether he strikes or stays silent, all eyes will be on Fatu when the bell rings in Los Angeles. One thing's certain: Money in the Bank may not just decide the next contract holder, it could reshape the future of WWE's most dominant faction.
