10 Worst Payoffs To WWE Storylines

Surely the only thing worse than losing your big re-debut in WWE is losing your actual initial debut? Fortunately—or rather, unfortunately—the case of Sting provides a pretty good answer to that question in the form of a resounding yes.

After an entire career away from the company, Sting would eventually sign for WWE in 2014 at the ripe old age of 55. The following months led to various press appearances (including work for WWE 2K15, the video game on which he’d feature as a pre-order bonus) before he finally showed his face at Survivor Series 2014.

There, he interrupted the Team Cena vs. Team Authority match, costing Triple H’s guys the victory and setting up a programme between him and the Game for WrestleMania 31.

Ultimately, it took more then 30 years after making his debut for Sting to finally to wrestle for WWE, but it took less than 20 minutes for him to chalk up his first defeat on the company’s books.

Sting lost to Triple H, in what would go down as his only WrestleMania outing in a storied 31-year career. Certainly, there were better ways to pay that one off… namely, the novel concept of having Sting, you know, actually win.
