In an update on Sting possibly heading to the WWE this year, a report from PWInsider notes that the WWE have entered negotiations with the former NWA, WCW & TNA Wrestling star and that the company are expecting a response within the next several weeks.

The company have come close to signing Sting in the past, however he has turned down the opportunity for years due to his concern over the WWE product at certain times and how he was uncomfortable with it as a Christian.

There is an internal belief that if Sting comes in that he wouldn’t be rushed into a match at WrestleMania this year and could be held until the post-WrestleMania edition of WWE RAW. The WWE are also highly interested in using Sting’s name for the upcoming launch of the WWE Network, as well as marketing and monetizing opportunities with Sting merchandise, DVD’s, toys and much more.
