Last month, Stone Cold Steve Austin was rumored to be a possible opponent for Brock Lesnar or Roman Reigns in the light of Dwayne Johnson’s absence at The Showcase Of Immortals this year. However, neither match is on the cards as of yet.
On his Grilling JR podcast, Jim Ross speculated that there is still a chance for Austin to be booked for WrestleMania 39 in Inglewood, California.
“I think there’s still time for Steve to do something at WrestleMania because the role he would be in would not be in a match.”

Jim Ross further noted that Austin doesn’t need to compete again. A non-wrestling role would be the best bet for The Texas Rattlesnake at WrestleMania 39.
“I don’t think so. I’d say no, and if he asked me I’d say no. What do you got to gain? He had that Kevin Owens thing last year at WrestleMania, which I thought was excellent. Looked good. He wrestled Steve’s match and he did what he could do.”

Since retiring from wrestling, Stone Cold Steve Austin has made appearances in movies and television shows, including The Longest Yard and Luck, and hosts his own podcast, The Steve Austin Show. It remains to be seen whether The Texas Rattlesnake will light up the WWE ring at the SoFi Stadium come April.
