WWE Discussing Potential Stone Cold Steve Austin Return – A new report suggests that WWE has internally discussed the possibility of bringing back Stone Cold Steve Austin for an appearance in the near future. According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, conversations have taken place within the company regarding the WWE Hall of Famer making some form of return “in the very near future.”
While no specific details were provided about what that appearance could involve, the timing is notable. WWE is entering the heart of WrestleMania season, with the Royal Rumble taking place this weekend and storylines beginning to take shape ahead of WrestleMania. Any mention of Austin at this point on the calendar naturally fuels speculation, given his history of being involved in major moments during WWE’s biggest events.
The report does not indicate whether the potential return would involve an in-ring role. The phrase “return appearance” could cover a wide range of possibilities, including a brief on-screen segment, a confrontation to set up another angle, or even a special role such as a guest referee. At this time, there is no confirmation that WWE is planning another match for Austin.
Since his in-ring comeback at WrestleMania 38 in 2022, where he faced Kevin Owens, Austin has remained on good terms with WWE. In multiple interviews over the past few years, he has stated that he stays in shape and is open to discussions if the creative idea is right. However, he has also made it clear that he is selective and does not feel the need to return unless it makes sense for him and the product.
Austin was previously rumored for an appearance at WrestleMania XL, but he ultimately turned down involvement due to filming commitments. At one point, he was reportedly considered for a role in the Night 2 main event before those plans changed, with The Undertaker eventually filling that spot instead.
As of now, WWE has not announced anything publicly, and there is no confirmation that Austin will appear at the Royal Rumble or WrestleMania. Still, with internal discussions reportedly taking place and the road to WrestleMania officially underway, the possibility of seeing Stone Cold Steve Austin back on WWE programming remains something fans will be watching closely.
