Sting's first WWE match was a loss to Triple H. The WCW Icon waited fourteen years after Nitro went down, just so he could be defeated by the WWE veteran. It didn't make a whole load of sense, although there are some merits to WWE's booking decision. For example, with Triple H tentatively scheduled to face The Rock in WrestleMania 32's show closing main event, it makes sense that WWE had to give him a big Mania win this year. You also have the old issue of Vince McMahon not wanting to put a WCW talent over a WWE talent, which sort of makes sense. Whatever the rights and wrongs, it was at least a very good match. The 56 year old Sting didn't embarrass himself and he certainly looked in great shape out there. He definitely looks like he has another match in him, maybe even a couple more matches. His ability to work again in WWE is going to be important. He won't want to end his legacy with a job to Triple H. From WWE's point of view, they'll also want to get Sting back in action. There's still money to be made and his brand is still strong. But some damage has been done. Sting needs to bounce back and get his WWE career back on track. There's a few things that both he and WWE must do in the coming months.
