In professional wrestling, few names are as iconic as “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. With the 20th anniversary of his retirement approaching, fans have been eagerly anticipating a possible return to the ring. Last year, Austin made a surprise appearance at WrestleMania 38 in Dallas, and now rumors are swirling that he may come back at this year’s two-night event in Hollywood.
Despite reports of WWE approaching Austin with several match pitches, the Hall of Famer has yet to confirm his participation in any capacity. In a recent “Casual Conversations with The Classic” interview, Austin addressed the WrestleMania rumors, stating that he hasn’t heard anything from WWE.
As the year’s biggest show approaches, Austin acknowledged the deep roster of talented superstars that WWE currently boasts, suggesting that the spotlight should be on them. Various reports have indicated that Austin was pitched matches against WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, and even LA Knight. However, financial disagreements between Austin and WWE reportedly led to the matches against Reigns and Lesnar falling.
With two weeks to go until WrestleMania, the anticipation is palpable. Will “Stone Cold” Steve Austin return to the ring and again electrify audiences? Only time will tell.
