In a Brian Fritz article for The Orlando Sentinel website, where he interviewed Sting last week at the WWE 2K15 roster reveal panel, Sting was asked about who he would want to face if The Undertaker match doesn’t happen. Sting said: “if that can’t happen (Undertaker match), Triple H, I think. I just would like to have one more match. I would love to say I had one match under the WWE banner and of coarse, WrestleMania. Who wouldn’t want to say that they wrestled at WrestleMania at least one time.”
Sting was interviewed by Sam Roberts at the WWE 2K15 SummerSlam Panel. Sting talked about the fan reaction at Comic-Con last month, the fan reaction of the WWE 2K15 promo on RAW, still wanting to face The Undertaker despite the streak ending, if there is someone on the current WWE roster he wants to face, wrestling Ric Flair on the last episode of WCW Nitro, if he talked to WWE when his WCW contact was over & he talked about being frustrated with the Starrcade match between himself & Hulk Hogan.
Sting will be appearing SummerSlam weekend on the WWE 2K15 roster reveal panel.

Word is that WWE sent Sting a contract several days ago but as of Saturday, he had not returned it. The belief is Sting & WWE were on terms & an agreement is in place. Those in the company before WrestleMania XXX were working with the impression that he was on board.

Sting & The Ultimate Warrior VS Hulk Hogan & Bret Hart in WCW on 12-10-98. It was The Ultimate Warrior first match on WCW Monday Night Nitro.
Sting posted the following on Facebook about the death of The Ultimate Warrior:
“Mourning the loss of
Jim Hellwig. I don’t believe anyone has ever published this picture before today. The snapshot was taken two days before Thanksgiving in 1985, as we prepared to leave my house in Newhall, California and embark on a career in wrestling.
Jim always challenged me to strive at being the best, and I’ll forever be grateful for the encouragement and motivation he provided.
I was looking forward to catching up with him, and I’m saddened we didn’t have the opportunity before he passed. My heart goes out to his wife Dana and their two daughters, and they will remain in my prayers.”
