As we reported last week, WWE sent out a casting call looking for 14 actors that will be featured in a promo video featuring wrestling legend Sting. The promo begins shooting today, Monday, June 16th.
While the news seemed to indicate that Sting would be making his WWE television debut soon, the promo is actually being shot for the new WWE 2K15 video game.
Sting will be this year’s “Featured Character” – a role that’s been filled by Brock Lesnar, Mike Tyson and most recently, The Ultimate Warrior.
Similar to Warrior’s initial involvement with Take-Two Interactive, Sting’s deal is believed to be directly with the video game producer, not WWE.
Aside from WWE 2K15, Sting will also be the subject of an upcoming WWE DVD release and has long been rumored to be signing with the company under a Legends contract.
