The former WCW World Champion responded to an old throwback photo of his, in which he can be seen seated on a motorbike. Sting reacted to the photo by stating, “Who wants to take a “last” ride with Sting?”
Sting’s response has unsurprisingly sent the fans into meltdown as it was an obvious reference to the recently concluded docuseries, Undertaker: The Last Ride, in which the Deadman seemingly announced his retirement from active in-ring competition.
Sting’s WWE status
Sting has not wrestled a match since Night of Champions 2015 where he faced Seth Rollins and suffered a career-ending neck injury as a result of a botched buckle bomb. Sting announced his retirement in April 2016 before he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
The 6-time WCW World Champion has since openly expressed his desire to have one last match against The Undertaker.
Pro Wrestling Sheet’s Ryan Satin had reported back in May that Sting was no longer under a contract with WWE and there were even rumors about him potentially joining AEW. We have heard nothing about a possible WWE contract extension ever since the report was out in the public domain.
During a recent interview with ComicBook.com, The Undertaker too shared his thoughts about the proposed dream match against Sting.
The Boneyard match made The Undertaker look like a million bucks despite his age, and it is believed WWE can book a cinematic match between The Undertaker and Sting to work around the apparent sluggishness that comes along with the wear and tear of the business.
The Undertaker vs. Sting is a match that many fans want to see, and WWE’s cinematic approach could finally be a way for it to come to fruition.
However, will it happen considering the uncertainty surrounding Sting’s WWE contract?
