• Stone Cold Steve Austin’s Match Is Now On The Card For WrestleMania 38
A lot is going on in WWE right now. With the WrestleMania 38 season going on, there are reports out on “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, The Rock and Cody Rhodes making their return to WWE.
According to the Wrestling Observer, Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Kevin Owens is now “on the card” for WrestleMania 38 as of this writing.
No word yet on which night Austin will have his match.
WWE has already planted seeds for this match, as Owens insulted Texas and its people on this week’s RAW in a backstage segment.
"The one good thing about not being on #WrestleMania … it means I won't have to compete in Dallas, Texas."
What's the deal, @FightOwensFight?! How FICKLE!#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/zZjlTyQkmz

WWE has sold about 100,000 tickets combined for both nights of WrestleMania 38 so far.
If WWE announces Austin in a match for the first time in 19 years ahead of time (instead of this being an impromptu match like The Rock did at WrestleMania 32), then expect the ticket sales to spike up big time.
Austin hasn’t wrestled since WrestleMania 19 in 2003, where he finally lost to The Rock in a singles match. However, he has delivered plenty of Stunners since then.
Stone Cold’s last WrestleMania appearance was in 2016, where he, Shawn Michaels & Mick Foley took out The League Of Nations. He then danced with The New Day and hit Xavier Woods with a Stunner and had a beer bash.
