Conflicting Report Regarding Sting's WWE Contract

As we previously reported, Sting allegedly signed a contract with World Wrestling Entertainment. The previous report was provided in the most recent edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter by Dave Meltzer. However, F4WOnline, the website for the newsletter, now has an update on the story in which it conflicts its previous report.

The website is reporting that Sting was sent his WWE contract several days ago. However, as of Friday, April 11, Sting had not put pen to paper or even returned the contract. Within WWE, there was a belief that both sides reached an agreement on the deal, but as mentioned, Sting has not yet inked his name on the contract.

Although Sting has not signed the contract, there is no fear of a serious hold-up from WWE’s point of view. Additionally, people within WWE were working with the impression that Sting was on board for a while. This mindset was reportedly present before the WrestleMania XXX event, so if anything, this all appears to be a minor setback for WWE.

Editor’s Note

While all signs point to Sting debuting in WWE soon, it wouldn’t surprise me if Sting doesn’t appear in the upcoming months. For months now there have been reports that Sting officially signed with WWE, only for other reports to come out that say he hasn’t.

As WWE continues to put an emphasis on younger talent, I’d be perfectly fine if Sting doesn’t show up. I would definitely have a mark-out moment if Sting did debut, but part of me still thinks that ship has sailed, especially as this continues to drag on.
