2. Sting’s WWE Debut: November 23, 2014

The franchise of WCW for many years was Sting and no superstar defined WCW better than The Icon did.  But when WCW went out of business in 2001, Sting never went to the WWE.  He was the last major superstar to hold out from coming to the WWE and many wondered if he would ever make an appearance on WWE TV.

But in 2014, the Stinger finally made his WWE debut and in one of the WWE’s top angles of the year.  The main event of Survivor Series 2014 was Team Authority consisting of Seth Rollins, Kane, Mark Henry, Luke Harper, and Rusev battling Team Cena consisting of John Cena, Dolph Ziggler, Big Show, Erick Rowan, and Ryback in a 5-on-5 Survivor Series elimination match.

If Team Authority was to lose, The Authority would no longer be in control and if Team Cena was to lose, each member other than Cena would be fired.  The match itself was one of the best matches of 2014 in the WWE and it came down to Ziggler for Team Cena and Rollins for Team Authority.

Triple H got involved and made sure Ziggler was taken out for Rollins to pin, but just as Rollins was pinning Ziggler via the count of The Authority’s crooked referee Scott Armstrong, the lights went out and we heard a crow noise.  Sting’s face then appeared on the tron and The Icon made his entrance to the ring amid shock from the WWE universe.  Sting took out The Game and helped Ziggler pin Rollins to get Team Cena the win.

This led to a WrestleMania 31 match between Triple H and Sting, but Sting’s debut was one of the most anticipated and legendary moments in not only Survivor Series history, but WWE history.
