Without a doubt, Stone Cold Steve Austin is one of the most popular professional wrestlers of all time. There are very few names who have made such a big impact on the audience while competing inside the squared circle, over the years. It seems WWE plans on bringing him back to WrestleMania set for later this year.
The fact that the WWE Hall of Famer is still earning millions of dollars on behalf of the company is also a valid reason why his appearance is very likely on WWE TV in the near future.

The most recent appearance on WWE television by the iconic superstar happened back on the March 16, 2020 episode of Monday Night Raw where he appeared in a segment to celebrate the 3:16 Day.

According to a report by WrestleVotes, WWE is very much interested in bringing back Stone Cold Steve Austin for this year’s WrestleMania 38 pay-per-view since it will be held in Dallas, Texas, the home state of the legend. He may not be involved in a wrestling capacity but a meaningful role would be given to him.
