Sting was the tenth most searched for topic on the internet on July 14th. There was a TMZ report that claimed Sting had signed a promotional contract, but not a wrestling contract with WWE. Apparently TMZ mistakenly confused Sting’s deal with 2K Sports for the WWE 2K15 video game with an actual direct deal with WWE.
As things stand now, Sting has yet to officially sign with WWE, however they are still working on locking him in.
