Could Sting be appearing at WWE Battleground tonight? What could he do to set up a SummerSlam match?

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (h/t Wrestling Inc), Sting will have a big role in tonight’s WWE Battleground pay-per-view. He’s expected to interfere in a match but with good reason.

Outside interference is expected in the finish for tonight’s Roman Reigns vs. Bray Wyatt match at the WWE Battleground pay-per-view. Dave Meltzer noted on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio that there have been plans for Luke Harper to get involved in the feud, possibly tonight. Meltzer also indicated that this angle may be where Sting makes his return. He said, “That’s where Sting fits in too.” It was also noted that Sting is set to be involved in the same match as Bray Wyatt at SummerSlam, unless plans change.

From the sound of this, we could have Sting and Roman Reigns vs. Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper at SummerSlam. It would be a big rub for the other three Superstars in this match, wrestling with a legend in the industry.

If this doesn’t happen, there’s no word on where else Sting would fit in on the SummerSlam card.

We last saw Sting at the Raw after WrestleMania 31. He wrestled at the latter event in his first ever WWE match and lost to Triple H. The Icon said he would be open to future dates with WWE and it appears they have come to terms on it.
