WWE Rumors: Undertaker vs Sting at Summer Slam 2015

With WWE arguably needing a significant shot within the arm prior to SummerSlam, rumors have begun to flow into suggesting 2 immense stars area unit on the verge of returning to the corporate.

PWInsider.com's microphone Johnson reports that The Undertaker might preferably be set to come back to WWE within the next week to create toward a program for a match at SummerSlam this year—a extraordinary development.

That in itself is large news, however it absolutely was followed up by the emergence of rumors linking not solely Taker with SummerSlam however another man World Health Organization hasn't been seen since WrestleMania season: Sting.

Per Dave Meltzer (h/t WrestlingInc.com), The Icon's come back has been planned for for a while and can result in a match at SummerSlam yet. however with all the promotion and excitement regarding 2 legends on the face of it returning, what will we have a tendency to expect concerning their doubtless plans?

First of all, let's look into the thrill close The Undertaker. His come back is arguably the additional exciting given however he hasn't wrestled at SummerSlam since 2008 and was wide expected to solely come back to create a feud for WrestleMania next year.

It's fascinating that Johnson notes concerning Taker probably being at piece of ground this weekend too, one thing that is conjointly been urged on-line by Richard grey of WrestlingNewsWorld.com:

If he's progressing to emerge this weekend to take off a feud, that each one points to associate degree involvement within the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match between Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar. there is the likelihood he might follow Lesnar following the shock outcome at WrestleMania XXX last year wherever Lesnar over the streak, however the smarter and additional doubtless possibility might concern Rollins.

If Lesnar goes over as champion, Rollins are in want of a replacement foe. Given however Rollins mocked Kane once he was cut at the hands of Lesnar on Raw this past week, so afterward attacked him while he lay dormant, maybe Taker is dead set revenge Kane's beating.

Given the plain relationship between Taker and Kane, it's a prospect that he is returning to travel when Rollins and also the Authority. Plus, with Lesnar currently a babyface, it'd be strange to enter him into a program with Taker once he is clearly over at the instant. that is despite Lesnar being the one that stony-broke Kane's ankle; in terms of kayfabe and plot development, it does not extremely appear to suit along all that well.

But what of Sting? there is very little buzz close him being at piece of ground, and every one the signs purpose to merely the one high-profile come back to stay Sting's within the bag for a tape of Raw.

While there is an evident path or 2 into WWE for Taker, Sting's next opponent appears less clear. If we have a tendency to area unit to presume Sting is returning as a babyface like Taker, then a young up-and-comer like Bray Wyatt would are a good opponent.

Not solely would the interaction between the 2 are must-see, however it'd are pretty fascinating to look at within the ring too. Sting might simply return and gift Roman Reigns a win by distracting Wyatt, however you are feeling that Wyatt vs. Reigns has legs left to run and can in all probability undergo to SummerSlam.

You then need to contemplate whether or not WWE would contemplate putt Sting into a championship feud. Given his (likely) part-time schedule, it's tough to imagine that, though Meltzer notes (again per WrestlingInc.com) that associate degree "undisclosed injury" to 1 of the parties concerned in Sting's come back suggests that plans have had to be modified.

That forthwith causes you to think about Ryback, World Health Organization won't be at piece of ground and is anticipated to miss a piece of action when being forced out of his worldwide Championship defense against massive Show and also the Miz this Sunday.

The U.S. Championship image appearance stacked out with John Cena, Kevin Owens, Antonio Cesaro and even Alexander Rusev at the instant, thus you'll be able to rule that one out too.

But what concerning the large elephant within the room: Sting vs. The Undertaker? it is the match several dream can happen sometime, with WrestleMania next year forever trying just like the obvious location for it, with the choice forever there to come back it once WrestleMania season rolls around once more next year.

But if WWE is keen to actually address the falling ratings and create SummerSlam a show to recollect, this might be the proper setting for the meeting of 2 wrestling icons.
