There have been rumors of WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin making his way inside the squared circle. Now, a huge update has emerged on the status of Austin for the WrestleMania Goes Hollywood (WrestleMania 39) event in April.
Steve Austin is likely to miss WrestleMania 39
Recent reports had indicated that WWE had made offers to Austin for him to wrestle on the show after his outing last year against Kevin Owens was considered a big success. It even seemed that Austin himself was on board with the idea of getting in the ring again.
However, Dave Meltzer is reporting that Austin has turned down wrestling at WrestleMania this time around.
On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said:
‘As far as Austin goes, Steve might be at the show ’“ I wouldn’t be surprised at all ’“ he might do something on the show, but he did in fact turn down wrestling at the show.
‘He was offered Lesnar, he was offered Roman Reigns, he could have named his opponent if he wanted to do it with anybody else.
‘But he did not choose to wrestle on the show.’
