Report: Sting to Appear Live Next Week on “Monday Night Raw”

Give credit where credit is due to “The Vigilante” Sting, because even though he’s a part-time performer, the former WCW Champion has found a way to show up on television every week leading up to his big title match.

According to PWInsider.com, Sting will be appearing live on the Sept. 14 edition of “Monday Night Raw” next week, live from the FedEx Forum in Memphis, TN.

While he didn’t appear in the middle of the squared circle, the 56-year-old performer did work a number of backstage segments (which may have been pre-taped) on “Raw” this week, taunting Seth Rollins with his stolen statue.

The show ultimately ended with Sting tossing the statue in a dumpster truck, riding off as Rollins threw a temper tantrum in the ring.

At WWE “Night of Champions” on Sept. 20 in Houston, Sting will challenge Rollins one-on-one for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in just his second match for the company. The six-time WCW Champion competed at WrestleMania 32, losing his in-ring debut to WWE COO Triple H.

Editor’s Note

More Sting is always a good thing. WWE could probably roll with more interaction between Rollins and John Cena if Sting couldn’t work, but the fact that he can is definitely a positive. Even at his age, Sting should forth one heck of an effort against the younger, more mobile Rollins at the pay-per-view.
