“Stone Cold” Steve Austin recently spoke with WESH2 to promote his new series “Stone Cold Takes on America.”
During the interview, Austin confirmed the reports that WWE reached out to have him work a match at WrestleMania 39, which is something he declined. The Rattlesnake said,
“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.”
Austin added, “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.”
