Stone Cold Steve Austin Had Zero In Ring Training Before WrestleMania 38 Match, Copied Becky Lynch’s Workout Routine

Despite not having done any in-ring training prior to the bout, Austin’s performance was well-received by fans worldwide.

In a recent interview with Ryan Satin on the Out of Character podcast, the Texas Rattlesnake revealed that his decision to return to the ring was motivated by the opportunity to compete in his hometown of Dallas one last time.

In terms of his training regimen, Austin admitted that he did not have access to a wrestling ring and instead turned to the workout routines of fellow WWE Superstars for inspiration.

“Zero in-ring training. I was doing cardio. Here’s an inside tip for you. I love Sheamus. He’s got a great YouTube channel, the Celtic Warrior workout or whatever he calls it. I got on there. I watched Edge’s routine. I watch Daniel Bryan or Bryan Danielson or whatever his name is. I watched his training routine.

But the one that really got me was Becky Lynch’s comeback routine. So I did Becky Lynch’s routine over and over and over again and then I invented my own out of that. So I was training hard at my house, but I didn’t have a ring.”

Austin’s willingness to come out of retirement shows that anything is possible in the world of professional wrestling. That being said, Austin made it clear that he has not heard anything about an appearance at WrestleMania 39. We’ll have to see if he will compete at the Show of Shows.
