Steve Austin: I’m Not Saying I’ll Get Back In The Ring, But If The Stars Align, Anything Could Happen

Steve Austin came out of retirement at WrestleMania 38, taking on Kevin Owens in a match that was initially billed as a confrontation. 

Austin previously stated that he had been in contact with WWE for a match at WrestleMania 39, and speaking to WESH2, Austin reiterated WWE approaching him for another match. 

“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,” he said when asked about potentially doing one more match. 

Austin was filming his reality show “Stone Cold Takes on America,” which airs on Sunday, April 30, on A&E at 10 p.m ET. 

It is unknown if or when Austin will return to WWE programming.
