Weeks of rumors were put down to rest by the WWE as they confirmed the return of the legendary Stone Cold Steve Austin on the WWE Network for a special show. For a long time, the news of WWE bringing back the Stone Cold podcast in a revamped version was roaming around the internet. Now it is official that the show is returning under the name of “‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin: The Broken Skull Sessions” on the exclusive streaming platform of the WWE.

The fans have something more to get excited about as another legendary name was confirmed to appear in the opening episode of the show. None other than The Undertaker will be the special guest of the talk-show hosted by Stone Cold Steve Austin.

The new interview series featuring the two legendary names is set to premiere on Sunday, November 24 at approximately 10:30 pm ET after the WWE Survivor Series pay-per-view goes off the air, according to Variety.
WWE is yet to officially start the promotion regarding the show. But Variety has made some insider scoops available for the first episode. The premiere of the season will have a “rare long-form interview with Mark Calaway, better known to WWE fans as The Undertaker.” Stone Cold said that the chatting session will be with the man behind the ‘Phenome’ gimmick, (courtesy wrestlingINC.com)
“Mark has been doing The Undertaker for 30 years and he has had one of the greatest runs in the history of the business. He’s stayed in character all this time. He’s made a few appearances on some talk shows way back in the day, but no one has really ever heard from Mark Calaway the man…I think he was enthusiastic because he has been quiet for so long so now he has the chance to share some stories like everyone else has. He’s had one of the most high-profile careers and, back in his heyday, had some of the most outlandish stories from the road. We had a great time shooting the breeze.”
As noted above, the fans will not want to give the opening episode of the talk-show hosted by Stone Cold Steve Austin a miss as they will get to know more about Mark Calaway, as the person rather than his Undertaker persona.
Austin also noted that he hopes to have more sitdowns in the future, to discuss the length of The Dead Man’s career. The episode has already been taped as you can see in the above picture.
Stone Cold also informed that this upcoming season will be different from that of the live version of his WWE Network podcast that aired a few years ago. At that point, it featured guests like Vince McMahon, Big Show, WWE Champion Brock Lesnar, and others. It’s to be noted that WWE does not want to refer to this new show as a podcast, but rather an interview series.
