This year’s WrestleMania saw Cody Rhodes trying to do what nobody from his family tree has ever done. By conquering Roman Reigns, he wanted to be the first Rhodes to win a WWE World Title. Sadly, the dream didn’t come true because the management chose The Tribal Chief as the winner. Fans were unhappy and openly opposed the booking decision through social media. However, if you ask Stone Cold Steve Austin, Cody Rhodes versus Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39 wouldn’t have ended any better.
Speaking to SI wrestling recently, “The Texas Rattlesnake” promoted his upcoming A&E show, “Stone Cold Takes on America”. During the interview, Steve Austin spoke on various topics including Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns at this year’s Show of Shows. He shared how he sees WWE’s decision to put The Tribal Chief over The American Nightmare.

As to the finish of Cody Rhodes versus Roman Reigns, Steve Austin loved all of it. He praised WWE for the way the whole match was built for WrestleMania 39. However, he doesn’t agree with those who wanted The American Nightmare to win.

The Texas Rattlesnake also revealed the reason why fans didn’t see him at this year’s Showcase of Immortals
At WrestleMania 38, Steve Austin surprised everyone by wrestling a match against Kevin Owens on Night 1. Fans were expecting something similar this year as well, which didn’t happen.
Speaking on the show, The Texas Rattlesnake admitted that there were talks of him wrestling at WrestleMania 39. However, he couldn’t appear due to his show, “Stone Cold Takes on America”. On the road to WrestleMania 39, Austin was filming for the show.
Because he was driving an RV all over the US, he couldn’t get himself into shape to wrestle at the show of shows. Plus, the show took a month more than expected, which is why he couldn’t make any commitment.
