For many years Sting vs. The Undertaker was a dream match, but there was little hope that the match would ever happen. But after Sting made his WWE debut at the Survivor Series pay-per-view in November of 2014 talk of a possible Undertaker vs. Sting match picked up once again.
Ultimately Sting only wrestled a few matches in WWE, and he never did end up faced off against The Deadman. The WWE Hall of Famer recently spoke to Paste Magazine about whether or not he was given a reason for why the match never happened, and he made it clear that he doesn’t know.
“No. No. To this day, I honestly don’t know. I don’t even know, it could be Taker. Maybe Taker just never really wanted to work with me. Maybe they brought it up and he kind of snubbed his nose and said he didn’t really want to do that. For whatever reason, even though Taker and I have always gotten along great. I don’t think he has issues with me, I certainly don’t have any issues with him. I just have a great amount of respect for him. But I have no idea why that match never happened. I think it was not right that it didn’t happen.
It’s something that I believe should have happened. I said it for 20 years, I made it clear, you know, “I’d love to have that match, I’d love to have one with that guy.” With the two characters, I had so many ideas of how we could’ve done that, and made it definitely a night that nobody would ever forget. But you know what, I’m here, I’m with AEW, I love what’s going on here, and I love what’s getting ready to happen. And I’m glad I made that move and came here.”
