12 Things You Need To Know About Sting's WWE Deal And Future

8. Just One Match

The deal Sting has signed is for just one match. That's smart on his part and smart on WWE's part. He's an old guy and physically inferior to his peak of twenty years ago. He has no business doing what the likes of John Cena do week in week out. However, for one night only, he can surely wind the clock back. Remember when Ric Flair had a match of the year contender against Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 24? That's what Sting can aim for - one great match that lets him retire on top. From WWE's point of view, one match is fine. Sometimes less is more and that will apply here. Sting's time in a WWE ring is going to be a commodity, which makes it extra valuable when it finally happens on pay per view / WWE Network.
