Stone Cold Steve Austin has been offered big money for a big match.
Fightful Select now reports that WWE offered a big match to Steve Austin against Roman Reigns. This was also said to be for ridiculous money.
Fightful Select has learned that a pitch was made internally for a “huge opponent” for Stone Cold Steve Austin, which Fightful Select was told was Roman Reigns. We’re told at the very least, Austin’s camp was approached with the possibility of it happening, which was said to have been for “enormous” money. In the Summer of 2022, Fightful reported that Austin was approached with a deal that wasn’t as appealing from a financial standpoint. Those that we spoke to in WWE claimed they hadn’t heard back on whether the more recent offer was accepted or not, and another source indicated that another “big name” was offered to Austin in the months prior.

Steve Austin wrestled Kevin Owens last year, but it was noted that, “Even up until the day, there were concerns that Austin would change his mind, and we were told they weren’t sure he’d do the night 2 interactions with Vince McMahon until the day of.” We’ll have to see what happens in this situation, but they have our attention.
