As previously reported, it appeared earlier that there were plans to book Sting in a tag team match at SummerSlam this year involving Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt. However, it then later appeared that those plans were no longer in place. Here are the latest updates regarding Sting originally being set to work a match at SummerSlam.
Per a source, the plans that were originally in place had Sting teaming with Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose against The Wyatt Family. Sting was even reportedly in very good shape for the match. However, Sting was later told that the plans had changed and he would not be used for a match at the big pay-per-view event.
The reasons are currently unknown why the plans were changed for the event. The idea was to team up Sting with Reigns because WWE was concerned that New York City would be a tough crowd for Roman to get a strong babyface reaction from the live crowd.
