Best Booking Options for Sting at WWE SummerSlam 2015

Despite contradicting dirtsheet reports about whether wrestling legend Sting would be at the 2015 edition of WWE’s SummerSlam pay-per-view, most wrestling fans agree he should at least make an appearance.

On one hand, a Sting appearance at SummerSlam could lay the groundwork for an eventual WrestleMania dream match against The Undertaker. On the other hand, Sting could arrive and even the odds for Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose when The Wyatt Family brings out a third member.

Here are the best booking options for Sting at SummerSlam 2015.

Interferes to Thwart Undertaker and Kane

The best use of Sting at SummerSlam would be to set up a match against The Undertaker at WrestleMania 32, and the SummerSlam main event match between Brock Lesnar and The Deadman could get convoluted.

Undertaker has hit Lesnar with low blows on two separate occasions, indicating he knows he can’t beat The Beast in a straight-up, one-on-one matchup. With his brother, Kane, also suffering an injury at the hands of Lesnar, the WWE Universe should be expecting a reunion of the Brothers of Destruction.

As Kane and Undertaker reunite and begin beating down Lesnar, that's when the arena should go black and Sting should make his appearance.

As the vigilante, Sting will be there to stop Undertaker from cheating once again. While Lesnar doesn’t typically need help from anyone, the Brothers of Destruction are one of the most dangerous teams in wrestling history, especially with Kane wearing his mask.

Not only would Sting helping Lesnar even the odds, but it would also help give this match the non-finish it needs—neither Lesnar nor Undertaker should be taking a clean loss—and set up the match most wrestling fans want: Undertaker vs. Sting at WrestleMania.

Returns to Help Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose

Another interesting concept for a Sting return would come in the form of interference in the SummerSlam tag team battle between Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose against Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper.

There are currently only two members of The Wyatt Family, but there is always a chance that Bray has something up his sleeve for Ambrose and Reigns. If there was ever a time to bring in a Superstar as the third man in the stable, a tough matchup against two-thirds of The Shield would be an ideal spot for the swerve.

With the three men getting the advantage over Ambrose and Reigns, the lights could drop out. Once they turn on again, the entire Wyatt Family is face to face with the vigilante Sting and his signature black baseball bat.

Sting’s appearance would save Ambrose and Reigns from a serious beating and could also help the WWE as a company moving forward. After SummerSlam, Undertaker and Lesnar are almost certainly going to be taken off television once again, and WWE needs a major draw heading into the fall.

Aligning Sting with Ambrose and Reigns to stand against The Wyatt Family would make for an incredible moment. There would be no clean finish at SummerSlam, though, so booking a six-man tag team match for Night of Champions in September would be perfect.
