Austin appeared on The Ariel Helwani Show earlier this year and revealed what went wrong:

“Long story short, just a different throttle system because I’m pretty damn handy on a four wheeler. I was embarrassed about it. I think everybody’s OK, but I mean, you go out there on the biggest night in wrestling, and you end up like that, it’s not the greatest day at the office.”

In an update on this situation, those within WWE expected the situation to disappear almost immediately. The night the incident occurred, a source told Fightful Select that the public would probably never hear anything more about it.

Fightful was told that the fan involved had been sitting in the front row at WrestleMania, meaning they had already spent a significant amount of money to attend the event because they are a big fan of the product. Because of that, the belief within WWE was that the company would simply make things right privately.

The suggestion was that WWE would offer the fan some form of compensation or gesture to smooth things over, but such a resolution would require the person to sign a non-disclosure agreement. That NDA would prevent them from discussing the situation publicly or pursuing further legal action.

Given that no developments have surfaced in the months since the incident, the lack of news is taken as a strong sign that WWE handled the matter internally and that the fan agreed to terms. The situation appears to have been resolved long ago, with no expectation of additional details ever being made public.

• Nikki Bella Will Celebrate Thanksgiving With Her Ex-Husband

Nikki Bella is opening up about life after divorce, and she’s revealing two major developments: she’ll be spending Thanksgiving with her ex-husband, Artem Chigvintsev, for the sake of their son, and she’s now finally ready to let romance back into her life.

During her interview with Entertainment Tonight, Nikki explained that her holiday plans this year include her former husband – a surprising arrangement given their difficult split just one year ago.

“It’s just going to kind of as of now be Artem, Matteo, and I to celebrate Thanksgiving,” she said, noting that they’ve maintained a strong co-parenting partnership.

Nikki made it clear that their priority is simple: ensuring their son Matteo feels supported and loved. “The greatest thing about how we co-parent is Matteo is always first and we are like how can we make things special for him? We set aside everything else and we make things really special for him.”

She says the results speak for themselves. “Everyone who meets Matteo will always say… ‘That’s the happiest kid ever.’”

Nikki credits that happiness to the home environment she and her ex have committed to building. “We’ve done such an incredible job co-parenting. My life coach taught me to teach him how amazing that you get two homes… you get to have a daddy house and a mommy house.”

The two continue to participate in activities together whenever possible, putting any personal differences aside. “As much as we can do things together, we do it. And so he’s always feeling the love. You can’t make it about you or the parents. It’s all about your children.”

But while her co-parenting relationship is stable and healthy, Nikki admits she’s starting to feel ready for something new – specifically, a romantic connection. She reveals that after a long period of healing, she’s finally open to dating again. “I am so open for dating. I’ve started to come to realize… I kind of want attention from a man. I would like that.”

However, she stresses that she’s protective of the rhythm she’s created in her life. “It is crazy because I am really busy and my balance right now is perfect. So I also don’t want someone to come in and I’m like, ‘Ah, you’re ruining my balance. I have it perfect.’”

Her priorities remain the same – Matteo comes before anything else. “Teo will always be first.” And while she hasn’t met anyone yet, she’s allowing the door to open naturally. “No one yet, but we’ll see.”

Nikki adds that with all the changes in her life, one thing she does genuinely miss is the simple spark of connection. “I do. I miss like flirting with someone, you know what I mean? I kind of want to feel that stuff again.”

After Thanksgiving, the WWE Hall of Famer will head to Survivor Series: WarGames 2025 at Petco Park in San Diego, California, this Saturday, where she will face Stephanie Vaquer for the Women’s World Championship.
