Sting is rumored for a match at WWE's upcoming show in Saudi Arabia, and while the company hasn't given any solid indication of who his opponent might be, just the thought of him returning in some capacity is exciting. It's also a chance to make The Road to WrestleMania a memorable one, which is something that WWE seems to be very interested in doing this time around.
Again, these are only rumors and may or may not end up being true. While that might seem a little disappointing, especially since Sting returning would be a big deal to the fans, it still begs the question of who The Icon would end up facing if he were to compete at the upcoming show.
With WWE's Saudi Arabia show fast approaching, here are five possible opponents for Sting at Super ShowDown 2020. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below and be sure to tell us who you want to see Sting face when WWE's latest show in Saudi Arabia comes around.
Before that, gear up by listening to the latest edition of our Dropkick DiSKussions podcast, where our experts, Tom Colohue and Korey Gunz, discuss the fallout of Royal Rumble!
#5 Corbin
King Corbin has become WWE's quintessential heel over the past couple of months, but his streak has seemingly come undone after a loss to Roman Reigns in a Falls Count Anywhere match, and again in the Royal Rumble match. Corbin's momentum seems to be in free fall at this point, and he requires ways to build that up.
Fortunately for Corbin and WWE, Sting would probably be the perfect opponent to do just that. Not only would it be a big win in a string of big wins for Corbin, but it also would give him a huge boost in momentum heading into WrestleMania 36. It might even be the basis for some kind of marquee match at 'Mania, which would be great for The King.
In the end, Corbin needs some momentum right now and Sting would be a great opponent to achieve just that with. The Icon is also such a highly respected Superstar in WWE, that a win for King Corbin would make fans angrier than they have ever been. It's the perfect plan and the company should look into implementing it.
#4 Seth Rollins
Remember when Seth Rollins ended Sting's career?
It was the fall of 2015 and Seth Rollins was set to square off against Sting for the World Heavyweight Title. Rollins was a heel at the time and was already deeply despised by The WWE Universe over how he betrayed his brothers in The Shield. Unfortunately for Rollins, that heat would be nothing compared to what he would receive after that night.
Whether it was an accident or just wreckless abandon will always be debated, but the fact remains that the buckle bomb Rollins delivered caused severe damage to Sting's spine. He later admitted during an interview that he had surgery to correct cervical spinal stenosis and that the situation could have been much worse.
With that being said and Seth Rollins again one of the most hated heels in WWE right now, why not have these two cross paths again in some capacity? Maybe WWE could even make it a six-man tag team match, bring in two top Monday Night RAW Superstars to take on Rollins and AOP. Either way, a rematch would be fun to see!
#3 Triple H
Revenge is a great motive in pro wrestling, and that could be exactly what Sting is out for after losing to Triple H at WrestleMania 31. Of course, WWE will probably have to rely on run-ins from The NWO and D Generation X to keep the pace going and cover-up Sting's shortcomings, but the pieces are still there to tell a great story.
Beyond that, it finally gives Sting a chance to even the score after losing to Triple H at WrestleMania 31. While the win wasn't that big of a deal, especially since both Superstars were part-timers, some fans believed that the company was still holding a grudge with WCW over The Monday Night Wars.
If nothing else, it wouldn't hurt WWE to give Sting back the win he never should have lost in the first place. Secondly, it would be a nice return match for The Icon and it will hopefully help him gain momentum going forward. Who knows, maybe it could even lead to a part-time comeback and even some dream matches that fans are dying to see!
#2 Undertaker
While some might argue that The Undertaker versus Sting should be the number one entry on this list, there is someone (or something) else that just beats that out. With that being said, The Deadman versus The Icon has been something WWE has wanted to do for a while, and it would be great to see it play out in Saudi Arabia.
Of course, fans are going to complain that the two Superstars are too slow in the ring and not able to perform at optimum levels, but they don't need to. In all honesty, just these two entities crossing paths alone would be worth the price of admission, and seeing them go through a four or five minutes match would just be the icing on the cake.
In the end, The Undertaker versus Sting probably won't go down as a five star classic or even the most interesting thing on the card that night, but it will serve as the ultimate answer to the question of who would win between them. It would also serve a crucial role to get fans hyped for WrestleMania 36, which is very important as well.
#1 The Fiend
Isn't it funny how almost any match against The Fiend is considered a dream match?
It's seriously started to feel that way at this point, but it would be irresponsible not to include a dream encounter between The Fiend and Sting on this list. In fact, between The Fiend's mind games and Sting's ability to play the silent hero, this would be pretty interesting to watch unfold.
Sure, the same could be true for almost any Superstar you put The Fiend up against, but unlike most of the other options, this one would be a passing of the torch moment. It could even be a great appetizer for whatever WWE has planned for The Fiend at WrestleMania 36, which is something that should be considered.
If nothing else, it serves perfectly as a stop-gap and a passing of the torch moment. It's not too much, but just enough to rope fans in and keep them entranced on The Road to WrestleMania. That's the kind of feeling that WWE needs to create right now, and hopefully, they can.
