WWE included Sting’s WrestleMania 31 match against Triple H in their “50 Greatest WrestleMania Matches Ever” collection on YouTube, ranking it at number 49. This acknowledgment comes months after The Icon’s retirement from in-ring competition at AEW Revolution last year.
The WWE Hall of Famer made his Survivor Series debut in 2014, confronting Triple H and setting up their WrestleMania 31 clash. The No Disqualification match featured interference from D-Generation X and the nWo, with Triple H ultimately securing the victory over Sting in his WrestleMania debut.
Former TNA Wrestling creative team member Vince Russo recently discussed working with Sting during his appearance on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Writing with Russo podcast.

Because, like, at 60 years old or 50, whatever he was at the time, the dude was still challenging himself. I love performers like that, man.
