WWE Hall of Famer and Attitude Era legend Stone Cold Steve Austin praised his WrestleMania 38 opponent Kevin Owens following their main event match on Night 1.
Speaking to WWE Digital following the event, The Rattlesnake revealed that he was extremely happy to have faced the Canadian in his final match ever, 19 years after he originally retired.
“I came here looking for anything. This is where I started and I was lucky enough to finish here” the Texas native began.
“KO is outstanding, but he ran his mouth a little too much and it finally caught up with him. It was an honour to be here on such a stacked card with so many great matches” Austin added.
Stone Cold would finish by praising the crowd for their involvement in his last ever match, which was not previously advertised.

“You just love the crowd, you love the crowd, the guys and gals before me had so many great matches. It’s really hard to follow that, but you live and die by that crowd” the former WWE Champion stated.
“This crowd is so faithful, so loyal, so rambunctious, they’re behind everything you do. I give a shout out to the WWE superstars that worked before me and will work tomorrow night, but I give the biggest shout out to the crowd because I never expected to headline a WrestleMania at this day and time. It’s all about the WWE Universe” Stone Cold Steve Austin concluded.
