Steve Austin confirms WrestleMania appearance
Steve Austin, WWE’s biggest peak drawing card in its history, has indicated that he will probably make an appearance at WrestleMania this year.
Austin, as a guest on Jim Ross’ 100th podcast this week, categorized it as 99 percent that he would be appearing on the show on 4/3 at AT&T Stadium. He will not be wrestling on the show. He said that he had an idea that he’s interested in but said he’s yet to talk to creative.
He indicated even if they don’t agree to do his idea, he would be at the show appearing in some form.
Austin appeared at the 2014 WrestleMania in a segment with Hulk Hogan and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Last year in Santa Clara, Austin didn’t appear.
