He clearly showed up because he had a problem with the abuse of power The Authority was wielding. At least, that should have been the reason he came back.
They also ran the nWo out there who were Sting's mortal enemies. Trust me, I've tried to rationalize this like you have, but it's just too much work and glossing over history to try and sell history. It was bad. Then Triple H came out in a suit later for a promo in the middle of the ring. Great war, dude.

That may be how you see it, but if you actually watched how WWE built up the match leading up to Mania, there was a tie in with the Monday Night Wars and how Sting was the last hold out from WCW.
No doubt he picked the fight because of the abuse of power, but in the WWE Universe, Sting was there to v settle an old WCW vs WWE score. Hence why nWo were willing to put their differences aside to help Sting.
Within the realm of that storyline, HHH had to go over. And it's not even debatable in my mind.
