Stone Cold Steve Austin is currently semi retired from in ring competition, with his most recent match being at WrestleMania 38.
There were many rumors and reports before WrestleMania 39 that Austin would be open to competing at the event for the second year in a row. However, no deal could be made between the two parties, so Austin sat the event out.
Speaking to WESH2, Austin reiterated WWE approaching him for another match.
“They approached me about wrestling at WrestleMania 39. I thought, what I did with Kevin, that was a great sendoff because I started in Dallas, got a chance to end in Dallas. The way we framed that match, too much wasn’t expected. I got approached to be part of 39, but the schedule of filming, I told WWE, ‘I don’t know what my life looks like until we get into production and knowing if I can train for WrestleMania 39.’ We finished this show about five to seven days before WrestleMania. There is no way, traveling all over God’s creation in an RV with a 35-pound dumbbell, a 45-pound sandbag, and some kettlebells, that I could have gotten in that kind of shape. In the future, I’m not saying I will get back in the ring, but like I said at 38, if the stars align, anything could happen,”

As of this writing, there is plans in place for Austin to appear on WWE programming.
We will have to wait and see when and if Austin decides to get back in the ring.
