WWE Hall of Famer approached for huge WrestleMania match against Roman Reigns - Reports
The focus has been on Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson potentially returning to the ring for a match, but he's not the only WWE Hall of Famer in the news.
Fightful Select had some major news regarding WWE Hall of Famer "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and a potential return that was pitched against a major star.
According to the report, the company pitched Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns as Austin's opponent. The deal was said to be for 'enormous' money. However, Fightful was told by some in the company that they hadn't heard back from The Rattlesnake regarding the offer.
Austin returned to the ring for the first time since 2003 at WrestleMania 38 Night One. He battled in the main event against Kevin Owens in a no holds barred match, which he won. Rumors have been swirling that he could be set to compete at this year's WrestleMania as well, but as of writing, nothing has been announced.
