In the world of professional wrestling the word “retirement” is more or less a placeholder. I don’t care if a guy is in his mid 60s, if he gets the call from Vince McMahon to come back into the ring 9 times out of 10 these guys are going to make an appearance. While he didn’t return to the WWE, there was a Sting sighting over the weekend.
Sting returned to the ring for Qatar Professional Wrestling. WrestlingInc.com reported that the Icon made an appearance at QPW SuperSlam on Friday night. Sting did not wrestle, but did interfered in a match between Brian Cage and Alofa, giving the rub to Cage. QPW and fans in attendance tweeted out images of the WCW Icon in the ring.
While there’s little chance Sting makes a full fledged return to wrestling, it was pretty cool seeing him don the face paint and jacket again. Sting was forced to retire in 2015 after a buckle bomb from Seth Rollins gave him a serious neck injury.
While we may never see Sting square off in the ring again, it would have been pretty cool to witness this live. Check out the tweets below:
