At WrestleMania 38, WWE fans in Texas got to see something truly special. During the main event segment of night one, a texas sized Kevin Owens Show would lead to Stone Cold Steve Austin wrestling his first match since his 2003 retirement.
It was an incredible moment and solid match – leaving many to wonder if Austin will be returning to the ring more in the future.
WWE Approached Stone Cold For WrestleMania 39 – But He Didn’t Have Time To Train
While speaking with WESH2, Stone Cold would confirm that he was asked to be part of WrestleMania 39. He had the following to say about why he turned a match down, and where the potential of future matches land.
“They approached me about wrestling at WrestleMania 39. I thought, what I did with Kevin, that was a great sendoff because I started in Dallas, got a chance to end in Dallas. The way we framed that match, too much wasn’t expected. I got approached to be part of 39, but the schedule of filming, I told WWE, ‘I don’t know what my life looks like until we get into production and knowing if I can train for WrestleMania 39.’
We finished this show about five to seven days before WrestleMania. There is no way, traveling all over God’s creation in an RV with a 35-pound dumbbell, a 45-pound sandbag, and some kettlebells, that I could have gotten in that kind of shape. In the future, I’m not saying I will get back in the ring, but like I said at 38, if the stars align, anything could happen.”
If there is one thing that has been made clear, it’s that Stone Cold is someone who holds his legacy in high regard. He doesn’t want to wrestle a match he’s not ready for, ensuring that his last match remains one that fans enjoyed.
For a while that was his match at WrestleMania 19 alongside The Rock, and now it’s his match at WrestleMania 39 with Kevin Owens.
