When Sting made his debut in WWE, several fans were excited as they thought he would finally face off against The Undertaker, which was a dream match for many. However, that did not end up happening. It seems he had an interesting pitch for a WrestleMania match but Vince McMahon promptly rejected it. The Undertaker also revealed if he’ll ever return to the WWE.
Sting is currently working in AEW and signed a multi-year contract with the company. Sting also recently spoke to Paste Magazine, where he talked about why The Undertaker and his match never took place. Sting revealed that it might have been because The Undertaker rejected the match in the first place.
“No. No. To this day, I honestly don’t know. I don’t even know, it could be Taker. Maybe Taker just never really wanted to work with me. Maybe they brought it up and he kind of snubbed his nose and said he didn’t really want to do that. For whatever reason, even though Taker and I have always gotten along great. I don’t think he has issues with me, I certainly don’t have any issues with him. I just have a great amount of respect for him. But I have no idea why that match never happened.
I think it was not right that it didn’t happen. It’s something that I believe should have happened. I said it for 20 years, I made it clear, you know, “I’d love to have that match, I’d love to have one with that guy.” With the two characters, I had so many ideas of how we could’ve done that, and made it definitely a night that nobody would ever forget. But you know what, I’m here, I’m with AEW, I love what’s going on here, and I love what’s getting ready to happen. And I’m glad I made that move and came here.”
