WWE legend teases dream Undertaker match ahead of Wrestlemania 35

WWE legend Sting has hinted that he could come out of retirement to face The Undertaker ahead of WrestleMania 35.

Sting, whose real name is Steve Borden, retired from wrestling in 2016 having been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2016.

The 60-year-old has held off surgery to correct a cervical spinal stenosis, which would end his career for good, to have one more fight with The Undertaker.

Fans have been desperate to see the duo go toe-to-toe with their supernatural acts often compared.

The long-awaited battle had been hoped to have occurred at WrestleMania 31, but Sting took on Treple H instead, while The Undertaker faced Dray Wyatt.

But Sting is now hopeful he will be able to finally meet his match, and would come out of retirement to make it happen.

Sting told Wrestling Travel : “I mean, everyone knows who it would be.

“Taker, he’s the only guy I’d come out of retirement for now. No one else.

“We could just never get it together to make it happen.

“When I started talking to WWE he was booked with Brock and then I did the deal with Triple H and he had another feud going on at the time, so it was just one of those things we couldn’t make happen.

“But I don’t regret it not happening either, I mean I got to face Triple H at my first WrestleMania and then wrestle Seth for the world title, so I didn’t do too badly out of that deal.

“But yeah, now, the only person I’m getting back in the ring for is Taker.”
