Meanwhile, in the recent time, there had been a rumour of him coming back to action once again. There were strong rumours of Stone Cold Steve Austin to face former WWE Universal Heavyweight champion Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 38. However, it had been confirmed that there will be no match since Austin is still not ready to have a match yet.
Even though there is some exciting news that Austin will be at WrestleMania 38 to be the guest of Kevin Owens in his famous Talk Show, The KO Show. So far Owens did an amazing job to promote this segment. Owens has proved why he is still one of the best in the business right now.
Recently in an Episode of Monday Night RAW, Owens delivered an amazing promo to promote his WrestleMania segment with Steve Austin which is being considered as one of the best segments in the recent years. Hopefully it’s going to be one hell of a segment and worth a wait.
Stone Cold Steve Austin who is a former six times WWE World Champion recently spoke to Rich Eisen for The Eisen Show where he talked about coming back to WWE for WrestleMania 38 and revealed why he made the decision to come back. He said;
“This opportunity comes up, Kevin Owens starts running me down and gets my attention. It was a thing where, I kind of said, ‘I’m never going to get in the ring again.’ In this business, never say never. I said I would never get in, but prompted by the right person at the right time, hell, I wish he would have pissed me off a little sooner than he did to give me more time to prep. Once you step into the ring, it’s like stepping onto a football field, that’s where business happens. We don’t know what it’s going to escalate to.
“I’ve been working on my conditioning. Had it been anywhere else other than Jerry’s Place… it’s a two-night event, WrestleMania is biggest show of the year, to be part of that is really special to me. I’m doing this for me. I’m going out there to have a damn blast. I’m gonna have fun and I’m gonna wear these two fists out on Kevin Owens. I’m sure he’s going to get some to because he’s had an amazing career. I’m glad he pissed me off when he did.”
“When I left, I didn’t want to leave. WrestleMania 19, my neck had presented some problems. After I got spiked and dropped on my head back in 99, I had three, four fused up, and it was time for me to ride off into the sunset and do something else. This comeback means a lot to me as I’ve been getting back into in-ring shape. I’m gonna go out there and do the absolute best I can … I’m doing this for the fans. I’m doing this for WWE. I’m doing this for me, number one,”
