If Austin being part of WrestleMania 41 could satisfy the crowd, he’d be game for it.
WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin is on the record stating that he was close to appearing at WrestleMania XL. He added that he hopes to be at the 2025 installment of the event.
Austin resides in Nevada and WrestleMania 41 is emanating from Las Vegas. While making the media rounds, Austin spoke to Fox News Digital and was asked about the idea of wrestling another match for WWE. Here’s what he had to say:
But to get in there, put trunks on, and to try and be the guy that I once was … I did that, two years ago and tried to do something but I never had a ring to practice in.
(Hulk Hogan) hit it right on the head where he goes, ‘Well, he’s not calloused up. His body isn’t going to be ready for what he feels.’ Undertaker hit it right on the head when he said his timing was not going to be there, which it wasn’t, because I didn’t have any timing. Triple H hit it right on the head where he goes you never go out there, you never know what you’re going to go out there with because you don’t know what you have. You haven’t been in a ring in 20 years. And I didn’t know what I had.
But there’s so much going on. They got such a stacked roster with so many great superstars these days that they’re not going to have any problem filling two nights of entertainment. But if I got out there and be a part of it on one hand and do something positive that works for the company and works for what they want to do, and it satisfied a crowd, I’d be happy to.
Austin main evented night one of WrestleMania 38 with Kevin Owens in a No Holds Barred match. Austin picked up the win in just under 14 minutes.
