Stone Cold Steve Austin Was Reportedly Offered Match With Brock Lesnar, Not Roman Reigns

Earlier this week it was reported that Stone Cold Steve Austin had been offered a large amount of money to face a major opponent thought to be Roman Reigns.

While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that Roman Reigns was not the opponent pitched to Steve Austin. Instead, it was actually Brock Lesnar.

“It was Brock Lesnar. It’s not on. It’s been talked about probably for months, because I know when that Brock Lesnar/GUNTHER thing came up, I was told immediately, ‘That’s not happening’, or, ‘That’s not the idea right now’. Maybe it’s gonna happen now.

But the idea was something that’s a secret. So Austin was that secret. The match is not on, and it looks like it’s gonna be Lesnar with Lashley based on the show tonight.”

We will have to wait and see who Steve Austin will end up facing in the end but for now, Brock Lesnar has his hands full with Bobby Lashley.
