Ever since Stone Cold Steve Austin was forced to quit wrestling in 2003 due to a neck injury, he mostly worked in special Wrestlemania appearances. With the 37th edition approaching closer, there have been some speculations about whether he is booked for the Show of Shows emanating from the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. We have now received an update regarding the legend’s status for the upcoming PPV.
Stone Cold Steve Austin appeared in an episode of the Wrestling Inc. Daily podcast as part of Tide’s #TurnToCold campaign. He discussed winning his first WWE World Championship against Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 14 twenty-three years ago. When Wrestling Inc.
