Major Details on Stone Cold Steve Austin Potentially Returning for One More Match at WWE WrestleMania 38

WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin is arguably one of the best draws in pro-wrestling history. The former WWE Champion turned tides during the Attitude Era and amassed a popularity unlike any other.

The Texan retired from in-ring action because of an injury suffered in 1998. However, it is now reported that The Texas Rattlesnake might make his in-ring come back for one last match at WrestleMania 38.

Fightful Select recently reported that according to their inside report from WWE, the company is looking to go out of its way and bring back the Texan for one more night for WrestleMania 38 in Texas.

Steve Austin’s last in-ring match came against 19 years ago at the WrestleMania 19 PPV against his arch-rival, The Rock. However, according to Fightful, the beer-loving wrestler might make his come back at the ‘Grandest Stage of them All.’

Recently, the company has brought back some stars from the past, with Lita being the most recent example. However, bringing a star-like Stone Cold Steve Austin is a big deal. If the two parties can agree, WrestleMania 38 might become the most popular WrestleMania of recent memory.

However, Fightful also reports that after speaking to a bunch of people, there have been mixed answers. Some WWE personnel believes that Austin is legitimately coming back, and some say that it is just hype.

Following is an excerpt of the report from Fightful.

“Fightful reached out to WWE in an official capacity, but haven’t been given any concrete information. Those that we asked within WWE have had a range of responses, from being coy, to saying they assume it will happen.”

However, Kevin Owens’ anti-Texan gimmick makes us feel he would be the perfect opponent for Austin. Not to forget, Owens also uses the Stunner. Will it happen or not remains to be seen. But we’ve got goosebumps just thinking about seeing the ‘Texas Rattlesnake’ in the ring once again!
