WWE fan favorite reportedly pitched to work with Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 39- Report
Speculation about WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin's potential return to the ring has been swirling ever since the Texas Rattlesnake wrestled last year. Today, a new report is providing insight into WWE's internal efforts to get Austin back inside the squared circle.
Stone Cold Steve Austin defeated Kevin Owens in the main event of Night 1 at WrestleMania 38 in Dallas, Texas. It was his first WWE match in nearly 20 years. Austin's abilities during the match excited fans at the prospect of the former WWE Champion wrestling again.
Multiple reports have revealed that Stone Cold was pitched to face off against stars like Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns, all of which were turned down for one reason or another.

The report confirmed that current WWE Superstar LA Knight has been pitched; however, the outlet could not confirm if there has been any movement on this front. Fightful Select did note that the Hall of Famer is set to do "WWE-related promotional work" for WWE's video game soon.
To reiterate, as of right now, there is no official word on whether LA Knight would be Stone Cold Steve Austin's opponent at WrestleMania, only that his name was pitched within internal discussions.
