As previously reported, WWE is seemingly setting up “Stone Cold” Steve Austin’s return to the ring by having him wrestle Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 38.
Owens has started cutting promos about the state of Texas, where WrestleMania 38 will be hosted and the home state of Austin.
On Wrestling Observer Radio, Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer discussed this:
“They have a lot of tickets left to sell and the impression I have is the match is on,” Meltzer said. “That’s why he started doing the promos. I know that backstage at WWE all day, that’s all I kept hearing about. I heard it early in the day and I kept checking around and more people were saying they heard the same thing. I don’t know that it’s a done deal but people were talking like it was. The Owens promo was a dead giveaway.”
Meltzer added, “I was not told that it was a done deal but people were under the assumption that it was and that promo clearly tells you that they are booking with the idea that it is happening. Kind of unexpected but there you go.”
