TNA officials have expressed interest in bringing in Ultimate Warrior to team with Sting, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. However, no serious talks have taken place and there are no plans for Warrior to appear on the Slammiversary pay-per-view.
The company is also planning for the possibility of Sting retiring when his contract expires at the end of the year, as TNA wants to give him a proper sendoff after watching what WWE did for Ric Flair. However, Sting has not indicated whether he plans to retire at the end of the year.
