7. A Vigilante For Titles

When Sting came into WWE last year, his sole stated purpose was to take down the Authority. He interfered at SummerSlam to send them away €œforever;€ he got Dolph Ziggler and company€™s jobs back by interfering in another match; and he fought Triple H at WrestleMania XXXI to stop the Authority. But now, it looks like Sting is back for one thing: the elusive world title he has never held, the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. And while that€™s fine, it didn€™t help that the Stinger spent a good deal of his promo talking up what a great man Triple H is and barely a syllable about beating Rollins to stick it to the Authority.As good as it is to see Sting back, intense and focused on a defined goal, it would have been nice if he hadn€™t shifted gears from wanting to topple the Authority to praising Triple H. This gets the barest of barely negative marks for now. Hopefully, Sting will refocus a little to try to bring the Authority down a peg or two.
