5 Reasons why Sting will face The Undertaker in his final WWE run

Recently, WCW legend Sting talked about having a match against The Undertaker in the near future.

I mean, everyone knows who it would be. Taker, he’s the only guy I’d come out of retirement for now. No one else. We could just never get it together to make it happen. When I started talking to WWE he was booked with Brock, and then I did the deal with Triple H, and he had another feud going on at the time, so it was just one of those things we couldn’t make happen.

This match is like a dream match for the WWE Universe which should have happened many years ago, but unfortunately, the company never had an opportunity to do so. Currently, Undertaker’s WrestleMania status is still unknown. And the question arises that could he face Sting?

I believe that this match isn't going to happen at ‘Mania, but there are some chances that this it could take place after this pay-per-view. Here are five reasons why I believe that.

#5 WWE won’t waste any opportunity

The most logical reason I could present right now is that the WWE just don't want to waste any opportunity right now. Tony Khan's All Elite Wrestling is already threatening to outstrip Vince McMahon's billion dollar company.

Nobody knows if this new promotion will surpass WWE as the biggest wrestling promotion or not but one thing is for sure, that AEW is going to break new grounds in wrestling. They have already signed many former WWE Superstars who have proved their worth in wrestling.

Even though AEW is still new to the business, Vince McMahon won’t take his eyes away from them. This match is an excellent opportunity for WWE to get some mainstream attention. And who knows, if Vince McMahon misses the boat then The Undertaker and Sting might slug it out in All Elite Wrestling. Yes, that sounds crazy, but I don’t regret saying it.

#4 It’s a dream match for the WWE Universe

Another reason this match could happen is that it's simply a dream match. Right now, WWE has to do everything they can to continue ruling in their industry.

And as I already said, this match should have happened at least five to six years ago. That time both Superstars were in marvellous shape and could have worked out well. Now, both are ageing quickly, it seems that soon the nostalgia effect would be diminished permanently.

But, if WWE wants to book this match then they should not waste any more time. Everything has to be done quickly, and if possible, The Undertaker versus Sting should happen in the next six months. Right now, a WrestleMania match between the two seems pretty unlikely, but they can still work together on other pay-per-views. Perhaps during the untitled Saudi Arabia show?

#3 The Undertaker has no ideal opponent at the moment

Let's not talk about when The Undertaker's next match is going to happen for a moment but who is going to face him instead. The Phenom has already spent more than two decades in this company and now, only a few wrestlers remain that he hasn't faced yet.

I know that talents like Finn Balor, Drew McIntyre and many more never worked The Deadman but at the moment, I am talking about Superstars above their level.

No, I'm not saying that these younger talents shouldn't work with The Undertaker. They all perform well in the ring but wouldn't it be great if The Phenom faces someone who matches him in terms of popularity.

You may not believe, but Sting is still a big deal for wrestling fans. He was to WCW is what The Undertaker currently is for WWE. Both have a mysterious gimmick which is another reason why The Icon could tussle with The Undertaker.

#2 Both wrestlers could perform at the best of their age

The Undertaker and Sting are getting on in years, and it is certain that none of these Superstars could perform exceptionally great in the ring. And if WWE books these legends against younger talents then not only our expectations will be false but it will also hurt their charisma.

At WWE Crown Jewel, fans expected The Undertaker, Kane, Shawn Michaels and Triple H to put out a great match but they failed. From what I see, the reason was HHH for us to believe that this match is going to be great. He still has some fuel left in his tank, and it is why The Game can still produce fantastic matches. But, what about the remaining three Superstars?

The Undertaker, as I told you, isn’t capable of giving considerable matches due to his age. Kane, on the other hand, doesn’t wrestle much in this era so maybe ring rust is the problem. Same could be said for Michaels who returned to the ring after staying retired for more than eight years.

However, if ‘Taker faces Sting, then not only our expectations will be low, but both Superstars could also work out well. We know exactly what to expect in this feud and how these two legends will provide that.

#1 The perfect choice to end The Undertaker’s career

Who is going to slug it out with The Deadman

The main reason why I think Sting should face The Undertaker during their final run is that he is the best choice to end The Phenom’s career. When Brock Lesnar broke The Streak, the fans were shocked. They booed Lesnar because he wasn’t the right man to do this job.

And when Roman Reigns defeated The Undertaker at WrestleMania 33, it coerced us to boo him even more than before. It's certain that if any younger talent defeats ‘Taker, it would hurt him. However, I don't think the fans would mind if Sting ends The Deadman's in-ring career in WWE.

This match will provide a nostalgic feel which, in my opinion, is much more important than any other thing right now. In this match, there will be emotions which are genuinely important in a retirement match. Also, WWE doesn't have many options right now as The Deadman has already faced a plethora of Superstars. But Sting is one of those few wrestlers who has never experienced hell in WWE with The Undertaker.
