Sting's WWE Talent Contract Is Agreed - Report

Sting appears to have finally signed his WWE deal. Wrestling Observer Radio indicates that the contract is probably agreed upon, otherwise WWE wouldn't have started to sell Sting merchandise on wwe.com. "Sting merchandise is up on wwe.com, so they must have made some sort of deal€ Bryan Alvarez comments. Dave Meltzer added that the WWE didn't want to air the 2K15 Sting video until the wrestler's talent contract was signed. With that video airing Monday night, there's a pretty good chance it means Sting's WWE deal is finalised. €œThey wanted Sting signed before this thing aired. Something happened. They wouldn't be doing this video if they didn't have this deal in place€ Meltzer also commented that Sting's WWE 2K15 video cost a staggering $200,000. That seems pretty pricey for what was basically a dark warehouse with people dressed as Sting playing instruments. It was a great video though, no doubt about that. The live crowd cheered loudly when the WCW icon showed his face to the camera. It's a great sign that he's going to be received as a very big deal when he finally does appear live. In a further note about the 2K15 video, Observer Radio notes that the original casting was looking for a bodybuilder to take part in the shoot. Obviously no bodybuilder was present in last night's video, which means there could yet be further Sting 2K15 vignettes to come. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diOtZg4mJRU As for his actual live debut, with the WWE deal probably signed, his first appearance could well be imminent. It makes sense for the company to use him as soon as possible in their Network Subscriptions push over the August / September period.
