It’s often stated that one of the biggest missed opportunities in WWE history is WWE never booking Sting vs. The Undertaker.

Both legends of wrestling were both under contract for WrestleMania 31, so WWE had the perfect opportunity to deliver the dream match.

According to The Undertaker himself on his Six Feet Under podcast, Vince McMahon didn’t want to book the match, and that’s ultimately why it never took place:

“That would have been huge box office. It just didn’t work out. He had a short run in WWE and Vince [Vince McMahon] didn’t want it. For whatever reason, I don’t know what it was. He just didn’t feel it. Everybody else was like, ‘People have been clamoring for this match for quite a few years.’ A year or two into that character change, people were already sending me artwork with the billboard or poster. It just never worked out. Then, when he got there, the match would have been good, but I don’t think it would have lived up to the expectations that people have for it. People always think about things in a certain sense. I think they thought in their mind of Undertaker 2007-2008 vs. Sting. It was later on than that. I can say, I was way on the backside of what I was going to do when he got there."

Instead of the match happening at WrestleMania 31, WWE decided to book Sting vs. Triple H, and The Undertaker vs. Bray Wyatt.
