5 possible opponents for Sting at Wrestlemania 32

With Wrestlemania 32 possibly being his last match, it is imperative that the legacy of Sting is celebrated on his way outDespite a sense that Sting’s initial reservations in joining the WWE could have been sufficiently allayed by Triple H assuming a greater hand in the running of the company, his usage thus far has done nothing to vindicate the Icon’s decision or the fans’ expectations surrounding his belated foray into the pro-wrestling giant’s territory.Such was the hype that Sting finally found the WWE policy and working environment to his liking, that the 14 years that WCW’s biggest star spent watching on the sidelines could have been quite effectively interwoven into a storyline that showcased the integrity of the Icon.Instead, consecutive losses against Triple H ( any surprises there?) and his protege Seth Rollins have quite  emphatically squashed any such possibilities.Even so, given the Icon’s gravitas, eking out a solid storyline that could culminate at Wrestlemania 32, having him look every bit the legend that he is before he hangs up his boots, could still be within the realms of realistic expectations.That being said, here are 5 possible opponents that could ideally step up to the plate against Sting at Wrestlemania 32.

#1 Triple H

After his defeat at the hands of Triple H at Wrestlemania 31, Sting could be itching for revenge a year later

If Vince McMahon had a annoying penchant of burying WCW at every possibility, Triple H’s dealings with many of the wrestlers alienated over the years by Vince promised much in terms of change in WWE policy, only to have the WWE appear to bury WCW again when the Cerebral Assasin defeated Sting at Wrestlemania 31.

After having the NWO, Sting’s sworn enemies in his WCW days, come out in aid of the Stinger, the fact that DX had the final say in determining their match and the unconvincing handshake at the end of it hardly displayed any change of intent or indeed, heart from the WWE’s side.

Bearing that in mind, and how any plans for the Rock and Ronda Rousey versus Triple H and Stephanie McMahon could well have been dropped owing to Rousey’s shock defeat at UFC 193, a rematch for the Stinger to regain some pride and possibly make a final stand for WCW before retiring, could well be a realistic prospect come Wrestlemania 32.
