Steve Austin is likely to get a huge paycheck for WrestleMania 38 match
It has been almost a couple of decades since Austin wrestled. However, he has made many cameo appearances and he has never been involved in a proper match. It seems that fact could change soon as ‘The Texas Rattlesnake’ is likely go one-on-one against Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 38.
As per Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the match is all but confirmed. Despite Austin turning down offers to return earlier, the solid amount of money being offered will play a significant role in his return.
”Steve Austin looks to be coming out of retirement to face Kevin Owens at WrestleMania this year. As for why now, there is far more money available for these types of matches an,d Owens is someone who can work a good match and lose. Austin was always going to be a part of the show in some form,” said Meltzer.
Austin’s last match at WrestleMania was against The Rock at WrestleMania 19. The Rock was finally able to beat Austin in what was an epic trilogy of matches:
”Austin, 57, has not wrestled since his 2003 WrestleMania loss to The Rock. It was never promoted as his retirement match because he did not want to promote it as such, and it was kept secret until the match was over that he would not wrestle again,” said Meltzer
