Is Stone Cold Steve Austin preparing for a WWE return? Exploring the possibility
Stone Cold Steve Austin has been absent from the spotlight of the WWE for some time now. The iconic WWE Hall of Famer was last spotted in 2022 causing chaos at WrestleMania 38 by delivering Stunners to Vince McMahon and Pat McAfee. Since that memorable moment, fans have been anxiously anticipating his comeback, with the chance of it happening sooner than expected.
Indeed, Stone Cold Steve Austin could potentially be making a return, thanks to his recent focus on fitness. The wrestler from Texas, known simply as the Texas Rattlesnake, opted to become a part of DDP Yoga, a program led by the famous Diamond Dallas Page, which has seen numerous triumphs.
The likes of Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Chris Jericho, and Mick Foley, among others, have all left glowing reviews. And now, DDP himself revealed on X, that Stone Cold Steve Austin is having a terrific time with the program as well. Granted, the 60-year-old is by no means unfit, but participating in DDP Yoga might just be something he is doing to potentially get back to in-ring condition.
It appears that he is having a good time and intends to continue doing it until the end. Who knows? Perhaps it could be beneficial if he were to challenge The Rock at WrestleMania 41, or for any other opportunity that may arise. However, ultimately, this is purely conjecture.
Stone Cold Steve Austin's last match in a WWE ring was two years ago
If the plan is for Stone Cold Steve Austin to wrestle a match at WrestleMania 41, then he could do with all the help he can get. Rumor has it, he was expected to return at WrestleMania 40, but several things prevented it from happening. One such thing might have been concerns about ring rust. After all, his last match was over two years ago.
During the first night of WrestleMania 38, Steve Austin surprised fans by defeating Kevin Owens. The match featured an intense showdown of Stunners in a No Holds Barred setting. Despite his age of 58 at the time, Austin emerged victorious and showed the audience that he still had what it takes.
It would be absolutely amazing to see Stone Cold back in the squared circle sometime soon. But, as mentioned earlier, there are a lot of factors to consider before he can step back into the ring. Nevertheless, there is nothing wrong with holding onto hope.
