In an interview with William Mullally of Al Arabiya to promote the release of the WWE 2K18 video game, WWE Hall of Famer Sting revealed that initial talks with The Undertaker himself about wanting to put together a match between both men did not seem to be received well by The Undertaker.
“We’ve had a brief conversation, and I just told him, I said, man, I just always wanted to have that match. It wasn’t necessarily reciprocated so I’m not sure where he stands or if he had any interest at all, to be quite honest. But I did. I don’t mind saying.”
