Sting's WWE career may be ending just over a year after it started.
"The Vigilante," 56, made his WWE debut last November at Survivor Series and engaged in high-profile feuds with Triple H and Seth Rollins over the past year. After suffering a serious neck injury during his bout with "The Architect" at Night of Champions in September, Sting hasn't been seen or heard from on WWE television.

It doesn't look like that's changing anytime soon.
As of right now, the former WCW and TNA Heavyweight Champion isn't penciled in for WrestleMania 32, meaning once again it looks like his long-talked about showdown with The Undertaker will be put on hold. Sting hasn't discussed for a match at WrestleMania 32 behind the scenes, but he could still be given a role in some capacity, according to PWInsider.

Before Sting even signed with the WWE, there was speculation concerning an eventual showdown with The Undertaker, but it appears that the match may never happen. The serious injury and the WWE's unwillingness to risk throwing Sting out into matches again could mean that his career with Vince McMahon's company is over.
Sting has a legends deal, so he still has a working relationship with the WWE, but it's hard to see the company feeling comfortable enough to throw him back into the squared circle after his latest scare. After all, he was facing a younger, faster Rollins when he got hurt and the WWE is trying to build new talent in the wake of the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion's absence.
As for WrestleMania, with Sting likely out of the fold, there have been rumors of The Undertaker taking on John Cena, once the "Cenation" leader returns from hiatus. Another rumored bout could see Triple H battle The Rock, but it depends on Dwayne Johnson's availability as his movie contract may keep him out of active competition.
Sting blew the collective minds of the WWE Universe when he finally showed his painted face in the company, now his run may be ending with a whimper.
