4. Sting Update

Rumour: With a strong enough lineup, Sting is most likely not going to be involved at SummerSlam. Instead, WWE is looking to save him for Night of Champions or possibly later in the year to help bolster their B-PPVs. He has been said to be in "ridiculously good shape" in anticipation of getting a call from WWE.

Reaction: Sting currently resides in Texas which is where Night of Champions is taking place, so it makes sense for him to show up there. The original idea was to put him with Reigns and Ambrose in a match against The Wyatt Family, but this could all change with Ambrose possibly turning heel and Rowan still out with his hand injury. Whatever ends up happening it won't be too hard to insert Sting into a random feud for a one-off tag match. Unfortunately this time around we won't get to see X-Pac blast Hogan to the ground.

Josh's work has been seen on Cageside Seats, Yahoo, and The Richest. If it's not pro wrestling, he's definitely thinking about cured meats and/or sushi, but never all three at the same time...that can get weird. Twitter: @HeelDoors
