• Major Name Could Return To WWE TV At WrestleMania 42

According to Bodyslam, WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin is scheduled to be backstage at WrestleMania 42 this weekend. This has begun speculation that Austin could make his return to WWE TV at the event, although that’s not confirmed right now.

Austin last appeared in WWE at WrestleMania 41 last year, where he announced the attendance and crashed his ATV!

Speaking of Austin, he recently won the Prospector 250 Race, which was a six-hour race across the Nevada desert. Driving a supercharged Kawasaki Teryx H2, Austin took home the trophy in the Stock Mod Pro Class.

• Roman Reigns & Controversial Personality Are On The Same Page Now

World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk said he’s a fighting champion in a recent interview, but his WrestleMania 42 opponent disagrees. Roman Reigns posted a video where he said the following about Punk’s reign as the World Champion:

“You have defended the title 3 times. You’ve had it, what, the whole year? You’re not a fighting champion. You’re not even a fighter, we’ve seen how that went.

Coddled? By management? Because I’m money and they’ve known that since the beginning. I told them, ‘I’m an unsigned billion dollar check,’ go back and find it. It’s in the archives.

You don’t have that type of confidence because you’re not the type of man I am. You’re not cut from the same fabric as me. It blows my mind that you think we’re f***ing equals. In which way?

It’s only gonna take the first couple of minutes for the whole world to see there’s no way we could ever be on the same level.

‘Coddled.’ The whole industry coddles you just by having you in it. You talk about the old timers, those were tough guys. We’ve seen what happens when you try to be a tough guy.

We put our whole reputation, the whole art form on the line for you because what? 100,000 internet marks loved you from the beginning? Let’s go back to your journey days when you were on the indies. It was the sh*ts. An embarrassment.

There’s not a legend in my family that respects you. You’re the reason we don’t let marks in the business. Keep my f***ing name out your mouth. On Sunday, it ends for you.”
