It was reported last week that WWE may have put the WWE Championship Title on AJ Styles because the lack of interest in the upcoming Survivor Series event and/or the poor rating for the Halloween edition of SmackDown.

Edge mentioned on Podcast of Awesomeness that it may have actually had to do with the USA Network debuting a new television show directly after SmackDown Live this week. Edge would then reveal that it wouldn’t be the first time WWE has helped out the USA Network, as they have done so in the past with the debut of Shooter.

“I think there’s probably a few factors that go in. I think USA was debuting a new TV series after, and while some of you may scoff and say WWE wouldn’t change their business for that, yes they would. Shooter was debuting, and they stacked the 900th episode of SmackDown. That’s why I was there, that’s why Taker was there. They’ll do those things because they’re on the USA Network, and USA asked for a favor, so they’ll do them a favor.”

While speaking to Al Arabiya, Sting spoke about having his sights set on a match against The Undertaker when he first entered into the WWE after many years of never jumping ship to the company.

According to Sting, he admitted to The Undertaker during the only conversation they had that he always wanted to have the match against him. Sting told The Undertaker about his desire to wrestle him at WrestleMania once he finally signed with WWE.

“The Dead Man” apparently didn’t feel the same way, or if he did, he never said anything about it to “The Icon,” Sting explained. “We’ve had a brief conversation, and I just told him, I said, man, I just always wanted to have that match. It wasn’t necessarily reciprocated so I’m not sure where he stands or if he had any interest at all, to be quite honest. But I did. I don’t mind saying.”

Sting would then joke about playing the WWE 2K18 and choosing himself to play against The Undertaker would be the only way they could have the match.

“I’ve never been a gamer kind of guy,” Sting admitted when asked about playing the game. “I have played the game though, I’ve done it.”

Sting continued, “As a matter of fact — Sting vs. Taker. That’s the only way I can have that match! [Laughs]. Wow.”

While speaking to Nick Hausman, Jim Ross talked about The Undertaker’s status and mentioned that he doesn’t believe Taker is done until he says he is done.

“Until he says he’s done he’s not done. I think Vince McMahon is a marketing genius. He’s not going to miss any opportunity to monetize and maximize this amazing investment in this legacy of The Undertaker. Until The Undertaker says he’s done and it’s validated by the company and is signed off in that essence, for lack of a better term, I still say Undertaker is active and could return and wrestle at any time.”
