Steve Austin is going to WrestleMania.
On Monday's WWE Raw, Kevin Owens invited Austin to join him on the Kevin Owens Show at WrestleMania 38.
On Tuesday, Austin accepted the invitation. The KO Show with Austin is scheduled to take place on WrestleMania Saturday (April 2)
"19 years ago I wrestled my last match in a WWE ring. After three Rock Bottoms, 1, 2, 3, I lost the match. For 19 years, I had to live with that defeat, knowing my time was up. Kevin Owens, I want to thank you. I want to thank you for waking something up deep inside me that I kept buried for 19 years. Ever since you starting running that damn mealy-mouth of yours, talking about the state of Texas, the great state of Texas, you got my attention. Why would you want to do that Kevin? I can think of two reasons. One, you are one dumb son of a bitch. Two, you are fixing to get your ass kicked by Stone Cold Steve Austin. Whether you want to call this the KO Show, a match, a fight, a brawl, whatever. I want to guarantee you this, in Dallas, Texas, where I started my career, at WrestleMania, Stone Cold Steve Austin is going to open one last can of whoop ass on you, Kevin Owens. That's the bottom line, because Stone Cold said so," said Austin.

Owens has spent weeks trashing Texas and legends such as JBL, Booker T, and Shawn Michaels have responded to the former WWE Universal Champion.
On February 14, Fightful Select reported "WWE has made a significant overture towards one of the biggest draws in WWE history "Stone Cold" Steve Austin for an in-ring return at WrestleMania 38 in Dallas, Texas. We're told that at the very least Austin is expected for a physical role."
Austin has not appeared on WWE television since 3:16 day in 2020 at the start of the pandemic. He has been involved in the promotion for WrestleMania 38. He last wrestled at WrestleMania 19 against The Rock.
