Steve Austin is asked about WrestleMania 40.
The Avengers united at WrestleMania 40 to help Cody Rhodes win the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship as Jey Uso, John Cena, and The Undertaker come to Cody's aid against Bloodline members Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa, and The Rock.
Fans wondered why Steve Austin was not involved given his history with The Rock and WrestleMania being in Philadelphia, where Austin defeated The Rock at WrestleMania 15.
Speaking to Adrian Hernandez of Unlikely, Austin was asked if WWE contacted him for WrestleMania 40.
"It was close. They certainly reached out to me. We had conversations. My wife and I had some things going on and I didn't need to go to Philly at that time. I have said, I miss Mania and Philly was a good town for me back in the day and I appreciate those fans. Couldn't make it down on that one. WrestleMania this year is in Vegas," he said.
Austin previously teased an appearance at WrestleMania 41. You can find his comments by clicking here.
