Cody Rhodes would like to see more of Steve Austin in WWE.
Steve Austin teased a possible appearance at WrestleMania 41, saying that he wasn't going to be leaving Nevada, but noting that WrestleMania 41 will be in Las Vegas.
Speaking to Gabby LaSpisa on Gabby AF, Cody Rhodes was asked about the possibility of Austin returning at WrestleMania 41.
"Steve Austin is, from a dollars and cents standpoint, the most profitable wrestler ever. From guys who like and study the business of it, that's the benchmark and where you want to get. In addition to being all that, more memories than anyone could possibly provide. WWE at the time needed, WWE doesn't need things that often, at that time they needed Stone Cold Steve Austin, and he pulled [WWE] out of the spot it was in and made everybody rich and brought a whole new flavor to the industry.
"I'd love to see him in any capacity. He over-delivered with Kevin Owens. If that was the end, that's a great end. Kevin Owens did an incredible job there too. I feel like he hasn't punched his legends card enough. He could just come in and tag with somebody. I know he probably wants it to be at the highest of levels, but you're a legend, you can do whatever you want."
Gabby said that fans would go crazy if they heard the glass shatter. Cody joked, "I'll be crying because if I hear the glass break, I'm going to look at a merch sheet the next day. 'Vegas 3:16' sold more than the Pharaoh plushy."
Austin wrestled his last match at WrestleMania 38, defeating Kevin Owens. It is unknown if he will return to WWE TV.
Elsewhere during the interview, Cody revealed he was approached about potentially running for office in Georgia. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
