McIntyre recalled how Steve Austin attended the event and offered advice to superstars after their matches:

“It was also amazing to see him recently. He came to a Reno, Nevada, live event close to where he lives, watched the whole show, and the coolest thing was when some of our older superstars come back they’ll say hi, they’ll stick around for a bit, they’ll check out [the show].” [2:19-2:33]

Austin watched the entire show backstage, including the main event between McIntyre and Sheamus.

“Steve is such a passionate wrestling fan, he sat down right at the monitor like he would back in the day, he watched every single match, he gave advice to anybody that wanted advice, and he stuck around right into the main event, which was myself and Sheamus in a Street Fight,” McIntyre continued. [2:34-2:47]

The lifelong friends asked the WWE icon for some words of wisdom after their match. However, according to McIntyre, he saw no issues with their physical battle:

“Afterwards, we tried to pick his brain and he just told us, ‘Y’all have been doing it long enough, you’ve got this thing.’ Once again, if he felt something he would have told us, and that really meant the world also, but just to see his passion for this industry, I admire that so much.” [2:47-3:02]

McIntyre will challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at Clash at the Castle in Cardiff, Wales, on Saturday. At the same event, Sheamus will also be in action against Intercontinental Champion Gunther.
