Steve Austin gives a tease for WrestleMania 41.
Steve Austin returned to the ring at WrestleMania 38, battling Kevin Owens in the main event of night one. It was Austin's first match in nearly two decades as he retired following WrestleMania 19.
Speaking to Christopher Kamrani of The Athletic, Austin commented on his performance.
“(Owens) got in the ring with the name Stone Cold Steve Austin, but he didn’t get in with the true Stone Cold who was a (expletive) machine. When the ball rang, I was an (expletive). And he didn’t get that guy. That’s what I was mad about. I wanted him to know what it was like to be in there with the (expletive) when he’s on. You try to be the guy you were, you try to be in that alpha state. Although your mindset is there, physically you are not," he said.
Austin is now on a new venture, competing in off-road buggy races in Nevada.
“I said I won’t leave Nevada. It’s hard to get me out of this state,” he stated. “But … Wrestlemania next year is in Vegas. That’s in Nevada.”
It is unknown if Austin will return to the ring or WWE television.
WrestleMania 41 is set to take place on April 19 and April 20 at Allegiant Stadium in Nevada.
