Could this coming Monday Night RAW be the long awaited WWE debut for Steve "Sting" Borden?
Update On CM Punk's WWE Status After The Return Of Wife A.J. Lee
Sting took to his official Twitter account for the first time since April and posted a cryptic tweet with a picture of him in his classic black and white face paint and then wrote a tweet that said, "7.14.14" leading to speculation that the former WCW and TNA icon could be making his debut in WWE on this Monday's live edition of RAW.
RAW emanates next Monday, July 14 from the Richmond Coliseum in Virginia.
What Happened After RAW Went Off The Air And Superstar Reactions
Sting has been in ongoing negotiations to join the WWE for the last few months and it looked as though a deal between both sides was close, but nothing ever came to fruition.

It was reported that Sting wanted to face The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXX, but the WWE then dragged its feet in signing him and called it a "low-priority," opting to have Brock Lesnar face The Undertaker on April 7 in New Orleans at the Show of Shows.
Lesnar defeated The Undertaker and ended The Streak in a match that saw 'Taker get injured and casted doubt over his in-ring future. There was some speculation that Sting would face 'Taker in one last match for both Superstars at WrestleMania 31 this March in the Bay Area at Levi's Stadium due to Sting's California ties, but it may not happen.
The Undertaker was injured during the match with Lesnar, who is expected to take the momentum from ending The Streak into the main event at SummerSlam in a clash with John Cena, and the Undertaker's career may be over due to the injury and the end of The Streak.
After WrestleMania XXX passed, it was reported that Sting had a WWE contract in his possession but this time it was him taking his sweet time in signing it. The two sides have reportedly had a deal in principle worked out for a while but nothing had been officially signed.
Sting has made appearances for the WWE Network including in the special for the late Ultimate Warrior, but he has yet to set foot in a WWE ring in his entire career and has been the one former mainstream WCW talent that WWE CEO Vince McMahon has failed to land, though they've come close on past occasions.
Sting's tweet could mean a variety of different things, but there is some speculation that the former WCW and TNA legend will make his debut on Monday Night RAW next week in Virginia.
