“Stone Cold” Steve Austin made his surprise in-ring return in the main event of WrestleMania 38 Night One this past April, defeating Kevin Owens in an impromptu No Holds Barred match in his first bout since WrestleMania XIX in 2003. Austin was asked weeks after that match if he’d be up for wrestling again at WrestleMania 39 next April, and “The Texas Rattlesnake” didn’t shoot down the idea — “…Never say ’never’ but I would really imagine that within the scope of that show, that’s gonna be a big show in a big-time city and it’ll be a two-night event again so, I’m not — I’m sure I’m done wrestling per se, but as a part of WWE, I can’t imagine I would not be there in some capacity and I’m not booking myself on the show because I didn’t book myself on 38. That’s a Vince [McMahon] thing and I have a great relationship with him and if I get the call, I’ll be there.”
