The future of WWE has been rife with possibility since it was announced that Sting would be appearing in WWE 2K15. WWE COO Triple H is on record stating, “never say never” in regards to The Stinger competing, finally, in WWE. The Chairman himself, Mr. McMahon, even tweeted about the potential of life imitating art in regards to Sting descending from the rafters into WWE. Thus we are left wondering: If he comes, who does he face?
We’re well aware of the long-standing rumors of Sting battling The Undertaker. We know that’s the ultimate sports-entertainment dream match, but there are so many possibilities with ramifications and historical impact as significant as that match. With that said, we’ve left The Phenom off this list and we’ve selected five Superstars who would make epic opponents for Sting.
#3 Sting vs. John Cena
While not in WWE, Sting has squared off against many of the biggest names in WWE history. He’s stood toe-to-toe with Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, “Macho Man” Randy Savage, and even “Stone Cold” Steve Austin (back when he was “Stunning”). And throughout his career — give or take one or two instances — Sting has always been a good guy. The fans have always loved him and he’s always been on the right side of history. So it would only make sense that the greatest Superstar in WCW history face off against arguably the greatest Superstar of the modern era: John Cena.
Of course, this runs deeper. John Cena, like Sting, is the ultimate good guy. Cena has stared in the face of hate and betrayal. He’s been outnumbered and, when all hope is lost, the Cenation leader has always found a way. Most Superstars turn their backs on the fans every once in a while, but Cena and Sting have remained the ultimate forces for good both in and out of the squared circle.
The ramifications of such a battle would rival the impact and historical significance of when The Rock took on Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania X-8. It would be two very different generations, two Superstars driven by the same goal: to be the best without compromising their integrity.
