• Return Of A “Familiar Face” Teased For WrestleMania 38
There are two crazy rumors going on about WrestleMania 38 right now:
1. Stone Cold Steve Austin coming out of retirement after 19 years to wrestle Kevin Owens.
2. Vince McMahon (age 76) wrestling SmackDown Commentator Pat McAfee.
RAW Commentator Corey Graves hinted at the Austin rumor on WWE’s After The Bell podcast and said the following:
“If the rumors do in fact prove to be true, we may have another familiar face back in the fold between now and The Showcase of the Immortals.
This is one of those ones where: if you know, you know. I’m not going to speak to it any longer.
I’m going to feed the rumor mill, that’s what I’m doing, I’m feeding the rumor mill. I’m stoking the flames and I am pouring gas on the fire.
If the rumors are true, I couldn’t be more thrilled.”
