As much as people want to heap praise on Sting, you have to face facts, he did look a little past it in his Night Of Champions WWE Title match with Seth Rollins. He was tired within minutes, noticeably gassing at the physical exertion involved. Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer noted how the match had little heat. It wasn't the same polished performance that Triple H helped Sting to at WrestleMania. Way before the injury ever occurred in the NOC match, WWE would have been alarmed at the poor performance. They'd took a risk with Sting in the main event, and it didn't pay off that night.
