Steve Austin Thinks Working With John Cena Would Have Been A Real Highlight

Steve Austin appeared on Out of Character to discuss a wide range of topics including why he never shared the ring with John Cena. 

Cena and Austin are two of the biggest stars in the history of the wrestling business, but the timing never worked out for them to wrestle each other as Cena made his main roster debut in 2002 while Austin retired in 2003. 

“Working with him would have been a real highlight, and I’ve had a bunch of highlights. It would have been a real special thing. There is something about John. People are so invested in his matches. He’s a very special talent. It would have been great to have a match with him. Will it ever happen? No. I think very highly of John and I love him,” he said.

Austin was asked whether he considered facing Cena when he returned at WrestleMania 38. 

“No, not really. Names have always been tossed around in conversation and stuff like that. I said I was never going to really wrestle again, unless, because you never say never, unless the stars aligned properly. They did to work with KO [Kevin Owens] in Dallas, so we did that. It wasn’t really put out, ‘it’s going to be a highly competitive match.’ You weren’t expecting us to go 30 minutes. I think we exceeded the expectations and it worked for that time and place. I’m good.”
