Is there fire behind this smoke? We don’t know, but several people are blowing it around today (May 11)...
Last week, WWE (and TNA) Hall of Famer Sting tweeted a shout out to an old colleague who now works for AEW.
Good to see @JakeSnakeDDT healthy and back on national TV in a prominent role! One of the all-time great heels. pic.twitter.com/N94ckHe2Ea

No big deal. Lots of people are happy Jake Roberts is healthy and getting another chance to connect with audiences on Dynamite, right?
A few days later, Sting replied to a tweet from Jake’s on-screen associate Lance Archer. The Stinger no-sold the dream match idea, but he did make sure to tag Tony Khan’s company this time...
Just glad to see you getting a much deserved shot in @AEWrestling. https://t.co/3RRiHWqGFG

Now, it’s come out that - despite being originally announced for the line - a Sting figure will not be part of Mattel’s upcoming WWE Legends series 7. And look who popped up in the replies to that bit of news...with a reaction meme:

Not for nothing, but when you can react with a meme of yourself reacting? That’s baller.
Anyway, there’s been no official confirmation Sting’s done with WWE, but Mattel’s announcement makes it sound like he might be - at least for now. Given Cody Rhodes & AEW’s love of all things JCP/WCW (not to mention their love of signing people they and fans believe were misused by WWE), it would not be a surprise to hear Tony Schiavone talking about The Franchise again some time soon.
Stay tuned.
