It seems that somehow, Stone Cold has to be at WrestleMania this year. We do not know if as a consequence of The Rock’s loss, yesterday a certain report of Fightful made the heads of thousands of followers turn again.
«Fightful has been able to know that it was internally proposed that Stone Cold Steve Austin have a ‘huge opponent’ [en WrestleMania 39]and they told Fightful that it is Roman Reigns».
Of course, WWE spares no expense, as Fightful claims that the offer comes with a very juicy amount of money. Let’s remember that In November, Fightful also posted the following.
«[…] Triple H’s regime has gone a step further and in fact, He has already made a formal offer for Austin to have another fight […] These sources They assume that said offer applies to WrestleMania 39, in Los Angeles, in 2023, but they cannot confirm that this was the case. Nor can they even name a potential rival for Austin. Another strong one indicated to us that, initially, Austin and WWE were far apart on the possibility of reaching an agreementby different terms of the negotiations”.
► The fight that never was and that now could be
But be careful, because the stupefying information continues. Because right now Dave Meltzer, under the latest installment of the Wrestling Observer Radiocomes up against what was revealed by Fightful and denies that WWE has offered Steve Austin to fight Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39. According to the journalist, the offer would involve another Superstar.
«The match that was proposed was not with Roman Reigns. It was with Brock Lesnar. It is not something that has come up now, they have probably been talking about it for months ».
Curiously, WWE would thus close a story that dates back to 2002, when Austin refused to fight Lesnar at the last minute in a match scheduled for that year’s edition of the King of The Ring tournament, causing Vince McMahon y Cía to have to improvise on the fly, among rumors that “The Texas Rattlesnake” did not want to elevate “The Beast”. This, in the end, was the goodbye of “The Texas Rattlesnake”, although only until the beginning of 2003.
Doubts arise, however, about the creative path exposed here, because last night on Raw seemed to trigger a new duel between Lesnar and Lashley that aims to take place at WrestleMania 39.
