Sting's only WrestleMania match happened in 2015. While his bout against Triple H was quite impressive, fans would have liked it much better if it was The Undertaker standing across the ring from him that night.

It turns out that not only the WWE Universe, but even The Icon himself was interested in a match against The Phenom at WrestleMania 31. However, that didn't materialise and fans got two very different matches instead.

After departing from IMPACT Wrestling in early 2014, Sting expressed his desire for "one last big match." He wanted it to occur at the following edition of WrestleMania (2015) with The Undertaker being his opponent.

However, the dream bout didn't take place at the event in question despite both legends competing there. While Sting incurred a loss against Triple H, The Undertaker ended up beating Bray Wyatt.

Even though The Icon didn't get to choose his WrestleMania opponent, his debut match still turned out to be quite memorable. The nWo and D-Generation X run-ins during the bout took fans on a trip down the nostalgia line.

One of WWE fans' biggest regrets is that they never got to witness Sting take on "The Phenom" The Undertaker. WrestleMania 31 posed as the best chance to do it, but WWE unfortunately didn't pull the trigger - or the Stinger, more like.
