5 Reasons Undertaker vs Sting would be a huge mistake

#3 Unfortunately, this isn't 1999...

...or even 2015, when both Sting and The Undertaker were capable of producing a good enough match. At WrestleMania 31, The Phenom looked in incredible shape and his match against Bray Wyatt certainly wasn't a bad affair. On the other hand, Sting held his own against Triple H, although the bout was marred with interference by DX and NWO.

Fans and wrestling personalities have been saying this for a long while now. The Undertaker is way past his prime, and so is Sting. If by a stroke of luck and a good enough pay, WWE had managed to score Sting after buying off WCW, it would have been the perfect time to greenlit the dream match. Sadly, it didn't happen. There was an opportunity to do the same at WrestleMania 31, but the company decided not to go ahead with it.

Now, 4 years later, things have drastically changed and there's no logical reason to have this match.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
