AEW Star On WWE Cutting 12 Minute Sting Match

In 2015, Sting competed in the WWE for the first time and faced Triple H at WrestleMania 31.

Paul Wight, a.k.a. The Big Show, recently talked about a match he had later that year against the legendary WCW wrestler.

After Seth Rollins caused a disqualification on September 14, 2015, Sting defeated the seven-foot star on RAW in under two minutes.

The Big Show and Rollins and John Cena and Sting engaged in a tag team match as a result of the interference.

He stated that his singles match versus Sting ought to have lasted longer in an interview with the Generation Iron Fitness Network.

Despite the match's length being shortened, Wight received the same amount of pay.

He continued by saying that ego, rather than money, is often the root of wrestlers' complaints.
