Sting made his first ever appearance on RAW in a shocking fashion last night on the RAW Reunion show during the main event match. John Cena put his WWE World Heavyweight Title shot at Royal Rumble on the line for a chance to win back the jobs for Dolph Ziggler, Ryback and Erick Rowan. The Authority had the deck stacked against Cena, as Cena had to face Seth Rollins, Big Show and Kane in a 3-1 handicap match with Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and J & J security all at ringside. Sting appeared on the big screen, his music hit and Sting headed out toward entrance, Sting came out on the stage atop the ramp & pointed to the ring. Cena took advantage of the distraction and rolled up Rollins for the win. Cena won back the jobs for Ziggler, Ryback and Rowan. Triple H was irate at Sting for what happened.
