“The Icon” is back, and he is coming for Seth Rollins.
Triple H and Stephanie McMahon had a ceremony planned for Rollins on “Monday Night RAW” the day after he beat John Cena for both the World Heavyweight championship and the U.S. title. At the end of the ceremony, “The Authority” planned on unveiling a gigantic statue of the champ in the ring.
But Sting had other plans.

Sting, of course, was one of the biggest stars on WWE’s former competitor, World Championship Wrestling. And unlike many of WCW’s former stars, he didn’t make the switch over to the WWE when Vince McMahon bought his competitor in 2001.
So the image of Sting holding up the WWE World Heavyweight title — something unimaginable to wrestling fans for many years — was quite the moment.

It appears that Wrestlemania 31 match against Triple H didn’t end their feud. Instead, Sting has come back for “The Authority,” and Rollins might be his best chance to get some revenge.
