10 Things We Never Thought We Would See In WWE In The 2010s

2. Sting Wrestling In WWE

You are lying to yourself if you say you knew for a fact Sting would be wrestling in WWE someday. The more time passed, the less likely it was we would ever see it happen. The closest he came to signing with the company in recent years was in 2011 when he was rumored to be behind the cryptic vignettes that began airing in the weeks following the Royal Rumble, which were expected to lead to a match with The Undertaker in Atlanta at WrestleMania 27. Sadly, the two sides couldn't come to terms on a deal, and Sting instead returned to TNA in early March. That was seen as the last opportunity he had to final venture to the company up north, but thankfully it wasn't. When his TNA tenure finally came to an end in January 2014, he expressed interest in d finishing his career in WWE. Although he had ties with 2K Sports for WWE 2K15, it was never confirmed he would be coming in to wrestle a match. His WWE debut at 2014's Survivor Series pay-per-view may go down as one of the most unbelievable yet epic arrivals in company history. It wasn't until WrestleMania 31 that he stepped between the ropes for the first time for a match, going one-on-one with Triple H. Everything that happened past that point, including his back-to-back PPV losses, and whether it hindered his legacy or not (I'd argue the latter) is debatable, but seeing Sting in WWE at all was cool in itself. Better late than never.
