Jim Ross doubts 6-time WWE Champion would come out of retirement at WrestleMania 39

AEW commentator Jim Ross has expressed doubts about the six-time WWE Champion returning to the ring at WrestleMania 39. Ross suggested that it is highly unlikely that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin would come out of retirement to compete in the event.

Stone Cold's return to the ring at WrestleMania 38 after nearly two decades away was a huge moment for wrestling fans worldwide. He competed in an impromptu match against Kevin Owens in his home state of Texas, causing the crowd to erupt with excitement.

On the most recent episode of Grilling JR, Jim Ross commented on the Texas Rattlesnake's WrestleMania 39 plans. According to JR, the lack of plans for Steve Austin at the Show of Shows indicates that WWE hasn't presented him with an idea that meets his standards.

"It just tells me they haven't come up with the right idea that makes him happy. If he's not booked, it's because WWE didn't come up with an idea that he was high enough on to take the plunge again but I can't see him having another match," Ross said. [H/T - Wrestling Inc.]

Rumors of the Texas Rattlesnake facing Roman Reigns or Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania Goes Hollywood have been quashed as both men are now booked. Jim Ross believes Austin may appear in a non-wrestling capacity, potentially in an interview or by delivering a stunner.
