10 WWE Superstars With The Most To Gain At WrestleMania 31

7. Sting

As legendary a career as Sting has had, there is a pretty decent sized portion of the WWE Universe that has never seen him wrestle. Not in person, not on television, not in DVD compilations, not on the WWE Network... nothing. They don't know what he's capable of, nor what he has done. A very high-profile (it will be treated as such, whether you like it or not) WrestleMania match with Triple H can go a long way towards building a new "legacy" for him. Let's say they have their match, and it's a stinker. Sting will be 56 by the time WrestleMania rolls around, and he hasn't wrestled since January 2014. You have to think he won't be at his physical peak here. If the match isn't very good, how much blame does he get for that? Triple H isn't a spring chicken, either, but he still participates in good, entertaining matches when he wrestles. How much does Sting's "stock" drop with a poor match? All of those people seeing him for the first time, after all that hype, and he doesn't deliver? Sting has to know the pressure on him here, and so does WWE management. You have to think that we wouldn't be getting the match in the first place if all parties weren't confident that they could go out there and tell a good story in the ring.
