5 Things WWE should do with Sting on the SmackDown season premiere

#3. Attacked by The Fiend

Will Sting be The Fiend's next victim?

It almost seems perfect.

'The Icon' Sting makes his triumphant return to WWE after being out of the public eye for quite some time and is then suddenly ambushed by The Fiend. The man who was once considered WCW's final hold out is then seen being choked out by the mandible claw as lights flicker on and off. The nightmarish Fiend then gives his signature laugh and a worldwide television audience is left stunned.

Sure, it's not an ideal situation for Sting fans, especially considering his rocky booking record with WWE, but few can deny the impact this type of moment could have on The Fiend's future. In fact, it could honestly go down as one of the defining segments of the character's career and firmly establish him as the new face of fear.

Again, it comes at the expense of a performer that hasn't been booked very well in the past, but if Sting is still unable to compete due to career-threatening injuries, what's the harm? In all seriousness, The Fiend needs to build up his body count and there are few bigger heads to hang on his mantle than Sting's.
