As previously reported, Steve Austin recently teased an appearance at Wrestlemania 41, noting that he has no plans to leave Las Vegas. That is the host city of next year’s event. In an interview with Gabby AF (via Fightful), Cody Rhodes commented on the possibility and said he believes Austin could make more WWE appearances than he currently does.
He said: “Steve Austin is, from a dollars and cents standpoint, the most profitable wrestler ever. From guys who like and study the business of it, that’s the benchmark and where you want to get. In addition to being all that, more memories than anyone could possibly provide. WWE at the time needed, WWE doesn’t need things that often, at that time they needed Stone Cold Steve Austin, and he pulled [WWE] out of the spot it was in and made everybody rich and brought a whole new flavor to the industry. I’d love to see him in any capacity. He over-delivered with Kevin Owens. If that was the end, that’s a great end. Kevin Owens did an incredible job there too. I feel like he hasn’t punched his legends card enough. He could just come in and tag with somebody. I know he probably wants it to be at the highest of levels, but you’re a legend, you can do whatever you want. I’ll be crying because if I hear the glass break, I’m going to look at a merch sheet the next day. ‘Vegas 3:16’ sold more than the Pharaoh plushy.“
