WWE is seemingly still pursuing Stone Cold Steve Austin to wrestle a match at the forthcoming PLE, WrestleMania 39. It was previously reported that WWE had pitched Brock Lesnar for Stone Cold to face at the Grandest Stage but, the plans never came to fruition. The Texas Rattle Snake was then offered to face Roman Reigns at Mania. However, Stone Cold seemingly did not accept the offer. According to a new report, the six-time WWE Champion may face the SmackDown superstar, LA Knight.
Steve Austin was last seen in the ring at last year’s WrestleMania, where he came out of retirement after almost two decades. Austin reigned supreme on Night 1 after defeating Kevin Owens in a singles match. The following night, Stone Cold returned to the ring and dished out stunners to Pat McAfee, Austin Theory, and Vince McMahon.
The WWE Hall of Famer is currently in phenomenal shape, which explains why WWE wants him back for one more match.
