‘Straight Up Steve Austin’ coming to USA Network this summer
A new interview-based series starring Steve Austin is coming to the USA Network this summer.
It was announced today that USA Network has picked up “Straight Up Steve Austin” for seven half-hour episodes. The series premieres on August 12 and will air after Raw on Mondays at 11 p.m. Eastern time.
USA Network described the show in a press release: “In each episode, Austin and a celebrity guest swap stories about their lives and careers during one-of-a-kind custom-tailored adventures in different cities across America. In this unique interview format, there’s no studio, no couch and no cue cards — just a straight-up good time and some good old-fashioned American fun.”
Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch will be a guest on one of the episodes. Country music singer Trace Adkins, former NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt Jr., comedian Gabriel Iglesias, Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield, actor Rob Riggle, and Sal Vulcano of “Impractical Jokers” are also listed as guests for the show.
