But he was not being able to compete in any match since he was out with a neck injury, the injury that completely killed his career. This year at WrestleMania 38, former WWE Universal champion Kevin Owens invited him to be the special guest of his KO Show. He did feature on the show and it was the main event segment of the night 1 of WrestleMania 38.
Surprising the Kevin Owens challenged Austin in a match and even more surprisingly Austin agreed. It was a no holds barred match and in this match Austin defeated Kevin Owens. This was quite surprising the a good match, Austin did beyond expectations. At the end of the match, he pinned Kevin with the Stunner.
WrestleMania 38 will always be remembered as the event to feature the last match of Stone Cold Steve Austin. The Rattlesnake did really well coming back to action after 19 years. Even at the age of 57 he looked quite good. It had been a dream come true moment for every 90s kids.
Stone Cold Steve Austin who is the former six times WWE world champion recently spoke to Brewbound Podcast where he revealed if he would like to be back for WrestleMania 39, the event that will take place in 2023. He said;
“Well [Austin laughed when asked if he’ll be at WrestleMania 39], for me to participate in WrestleMania 38, if you would’ve told me, ‘Hey man, you’re gonna be a part of WrestleMania 38. Not only that, you’re gonna main event night one,’ I would’ve said you’re full of sh*t and you’re crazy and there I was in Dallas, Texas, headlining main event on day one so, never say ‘never’ but I would really imagine that within the scope of that show, that’s gonna be a big show in a big time city and it’ll be a two-night event again.
“I’m not — I’m sure I’m done wrestling per se, but as a part of WWE, I can’t imagine I would not be there in some capacity and I’m not booking myself on the show because I didn’t book myself on 38. That’s a Vince [McMahon] thing and I have a great relationship with him and if I get the call, I’ll be there.”
