5 WWE legends who might work with AEW

#2 Sting

Does Sting regret having gone to WWE?

For years, a big part of Sting’s legacy was that he was the biggest star of his generation to never defect from WCW to WWE, nor sign with the company after WWE bought them out. By all indications, that wasn’t a result of WWE not wanting him, but rather matters of timing and, by Sting’s own admission, not entirely trusting what WWE would do with him.

Things have changed. Sting did sign with WWE and worked two major angles with the company, besides doing interviews for documentaries and WWE Network shows, and accepting a Hall of Fame induction. However, given the fact that he decisively lost both of his major programs to Triple H and Seth Rollins, and given his limited engagement with WWE programming since, there are questions as to whether Sting ultimately feels good about having gone to WWE. Moreover, he’s a guy with big-time name recognition who probably doesn’t have any business actually working a match at this stage, but could be useful as an on-air personality for the fledgling AEW.
