There were rumors floating around that “Stone Cold” Steve Austin had started training in the gym in order to be ready to compete in another match in WWE. But Bryan Alvarez quashed those rumors on the latest audio update of Wrestling Observer, where he said he wouldn’t be holding his breath for another match.
“I would not hold my breath on waiting on the return of Stone Cold Steve Austin.”
Brad Shepard of Barn Burner reported that WWE had tried to get in touch with Austin for him to appear in Jeddah, but he declined the offer. This is what he said:
“A source in WWE told me that the Saudi show is a big, big deal to Vince and there is no short-selling that. He isn’t flying every upper-level talent he can find to Saudi Arabia without good reason (that 10-year deal being quite a good reason). They are throwing everything including the kitchen sink at it. They wanted Austin to show up too, but he declined.”
While his inclusion would’ve been a huge addition, it looks like ”Stone Cold” has other plans.
