In a new interview, Sting (Steve Borden) made it sound like he was fortunate not to be paralyzed after suffering multiple injuries during the WWE Title match against Seth Rollins at Night of Champions.

Borden talked about the events of the match and then being taken to the hospital for a CT scan and MRI to determine the nature of a severe neck injury. Borden noted that the second Bucklebomb was scary, but he was injured earlier in the match on the first Bucklebomb.

"(Doctors) mentioned cervical spinal stenosis, but that’s only part of what I heard. I don’t know if there’s anything else. The doctor did tell my wife, 'He’s going to have to get this dealt with. He’s lucky he walked out of there,'" Borden told WWE's website in the interview.

Borden is just trying to get through a short-term recovery from the injury before thinking long-term about whether he wrestled his last match.

"I had tingling, numbness down both arms, all the way to my fingertips. And then, later in the match, I just fell wrong, whatever it was, and this time [the tingling and numbness] went down both arms and into my legs, and I couldn’t feel my legs too well. They just felt like rubber. I don’t know how to describe it. I had to go down on all fours there for a minute, get my composure. I was a little ... I was worried," Borden said.

Borden described what he remembered that he messed up taking the second Bucklebomb, then thought to himself that he "didn't want to go out like this" as he slumped to the mat trying to get feeling in his body.

"I’m stamping my feet or moving my toes, just trying to get a feel back, get my legs back underneath me. It started to kind of clear up a little bit. My fingers were still tingling and all that, but my legs were not at that point. I said, 'Let me try to continue, let’s just try it.' So I just stood up and walked away from them, and we continued," Borden said.

Whether Borden, 56, continues wrestling after the scary conclusion to Sunday's match remains to be seen. For now, it's recover in the short-term, see how his body settles long-term, and "wait and see" if he will wrestle again.
