We all know that Vince McMahon has signed a multi-year deal with Saudi Arabia. We also know that Saudi Arabia loves its old-school matches, pitting legends against one another in dream clashes.
There are only so many old-school stars who are major worldwide draws, who can still go at their age, to some degree at least. While Sting may not be healthy, there is more than one way to book a match, and with enough bells and whistles, it is possible to work around Sting's injury.

Shawn Michaels also said that he has retired from active competition, but he returned for a big payday from the Saudi Arabia government. It wasn't the best match that he's had, but it did not need to be, because the moment was truly magical indeed.
The Undertaker will also want to remove the bad taste left by his last Saudi Arabia outing with a good match against Sting.
