Fans have gathered on social media to reminisce about the WWE debut of AEW star Sting at Survivor Series in 2014.The Icon had been perhaps the biggest name to have never stepped inside WWE until he shockingly appeared at the November event. His appearance came in the main event of Survivor Series as the Authority were seconds away from defeating Team Cena with the former's power on the line.With Dolph Ziggler left to fight against the odds, the rest of his team eliminated and himself outnumbered, Sting came to the aid of the Showoff and attacked Seth Rollins and Triple H.The Architect and The Game would later be Sting's only two singles opponents in the company. The Icon first lost to Triple H at WrestleMania 31 and later failed to unseat Rollins for the WWE title at Night of Champions 2015.With his debut coming eight years ago, discussions between fans on Twitter arose. There was even some surprising discourse between fans opining that he had been better treated in WWE than AEW, and of course, some others claiming the opposite to be true.The user below, for example, boldly proclaimed that the Icon would be making his return to WWE next year.Wrestle Stan@WrestleStan22In 2023 Sting will arrive in WWE again The Icon against Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania?? twitter.com/WrestleOps/sta…Wrestle Ops@WrestleOps8 years ago today, Sting would arrive in @WWE.And after an unforgettable performance by Ziggler it would lead to a satisfying PPV ending.Chills.#SurvivorSeries32974158 years ago today, Sting would arrive in @WWE.And after an unforgettable performance by Ziggler it would lead to a satisfying PPV ending.Chills.#SurvivorSeries https://t.co/FKfmUPae6LIn 2023 Sting will arrive in WWE again The Icon against Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania?? twitter.com/WrestleOps/sta…'Le Gagagigo of Griftin' @That_Grifter@WrestleOps @WWE Unironically, Sting actually looks far better in AEW than he did in WWE.6@WrestleOps @WWE Unironically, Sting actually looks far better in AEW than he did in WWE.Angelo Thekid@KIDgotHOPS69@WrestleOps @WWE Then WWE does nothing with sting ...wasn't he 0-3?So AEW should put the world title on him....even if it's for daysyoutu.be/TQEBv9kMD0s@WrestleOps @WWE Then WWE does nothing with sting ...wasn't he 0-3?So AEW should put the world title on him....even if it's for daysyoutu.be/TQEBv9kMD0sYeehawMan@YeehawManDVD@WrestleOps @WWE Amazing debut followed by some of the worst booking imaginable252@WrestleOps @WWE Amazing debut followed by some of the worst booking imaginableCFC@CFC_POLLmaooooo my favorite survivor series match ever twitter.com/wrestleops/sta…Wrestle Ops@WrestleOps8 years ago today, Sting would arrive in @WWE.And after an unforgettable performance by Ziggler it would lead to a satisfying PPV ending.Chills.#SurvivorSeries14168 years ago today, Sting would arrive in @WWE.And after an unforgettable performance by Ziggler it would lead to a satisfying PPV ending.Chills.#SurvivorSeries https://t.co/FKfmUPae6LLmaooooo my favorite survivor series match ever twitter.com/wrestleops/sta…The Purple Warrior@ericpaulm666If this was the only thing Sting did in WWE it would have been a good run. twitter.com/WrestleOps/sta…Wrestle Ops@WrestleOps8 years ago today, Sting would arrive in @WWE.And after an unforgettable performance by Ziggler it would lead to a satisfying PPV ending.Chills.#SurvivorSeries33004168 years ago today, Sting would arrive in @WWE.And after an unforgettable performance by Ziggler it would lead to a satisfying PPV ending.Chills.#SurvivorSeries https://t.co/FKfmUPae6LIf this was the only thing Sting did in WWE it would have been a good run. twitter.com/WrestleOps/sta…ĜЯЄGǾЯY FЄЯNANDЄZ@mr_fernandez16Surpresing moment in wwe. twitter.com/WrestleOps/sta…Wrestle Ops@WrestleOps8 years ago today, Sting would arrive in @WWE.And after an unforgettable performance by Ziggler it would lead to a satisfying PPV ending.Chills.#SurvivorSeries33014168 years ago today, Sting would arrive in @WWE.And after an unforgettable performance by Ziggler it would lead to a satisfying PPV ending.Chills.#SurvivorSeries https://t.co/FKfmUPae6LSurpresing moment in wwe. twitter.com/WrestleOps/sta…Chris Mattingly@cmattingly97@WrestleOps @WWE That’s not Sting.

Sadly it was ruined by Triple H defeating him.Outside of the surprising debate, a number of fans maligned the fact that Sting would only have a handful of appearances in the company. They further slammed the decision to have The Icon lose to Triple H, especially considering that it was his WWE in-ring debut.Sting is currently undefeated since he joined AEW in 2020What made the suggestions that the Icon was better presented in WWE so surprising is the universal adulation of his current run.Since arriving in AEW, he is undefeated in all battles so far. Darby Allin may have losses in singles action, but next to his mentor he is yet to taste defeat. Their pairing has seen the likes of FTR, the House of Black, and even Bullet Club fall at their feet.Perhaps the most miraculous aspect of his tenure is that it comes after a heartbreaking end to his WWE career, where he was forced into retirement after a severe injury suffered against Seth Rollins in 2015.Which company do you feel treated Sting better?
