I think he would have been booked similar to Shawn Michaels during that era.
Shawn wasn't working every show. I believe he only wrestled on PPVs and some TVs. He was a part-timer before being a part-timer was cool. As someone who didn't work house shows he was never going to win multiple world titles although he did have one brief reign just so they could say that he won it then he settled into the role of older veteran who usually lost the really big matches but was always protected and featured in a marquee role for the big shows. I think all of that could describe Sting's likely role in WWE in the mid-late 2000's if he was there.

Imagine if Sting had debuted exactly the same way he did 10 years prior.
Survivor Series 2004, Team HHH vs Team Orton. Sting appears and nails Triple H with a Scorpion Death Drop before dragging Orton and putting his arm over Triple H for the 1-2-3. Sting goes on to feud with Evolution and has a match against Ric Flair at WrestleMania 21.

Just going back through everything, it might have landed with more of a whimper than anything because there's nowhere I could slot him to make him feel like the big deal he is. I guess you make him a foil to Evolution like he was to the Horsemen? But there's the rise of Guerrero and Benoit happening, Undertaker is finishing ABA Taker woth the Kane stuff, Angle is still rolling, Brock and Goldberg can circle each other and Trips and HBK are trying to pay off their feud. Adding Sting with nothing to do is just... meh.
A better scenario would be him taking a "gap year" and he comes back summer 04, giving everyone the proper Undertaker/Sting program, and a lot more free storylines to jump into because of the post WM 20 environment.

He only had four matches with TNA in 2003, he didn’t go full time with them until January 2006.
Either way the outcome still looks about the same.
He get some questionable booking, some loses he shouldn’t have take, but he’ll still be insanely over and get a world title run and that match vs. the undertaker.
I’m glad he’s going out on his own terms.

He goes and explains to The Rock who Booker T is Then he Scorpion Death Drops Booker and takes the title off him, and tells the Rock that Booker's the former champion.
