Steve Austin on WrestleMania XL appearance: “Oh, it was close!”

129

In an interview with Unlikely with Adrian Hernandez, WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin revealed that an appearance at WrestleMania 40 was close to being made, but eventually it did not work out.

Austin was penned to be part of the main event where he had to confront The Rock, but that spot eventually went to The Undertaker when the deal fell through.

Asked how close it was for WrestleMania 40, The Rattlesnake said, “Oh, it was close! And they certainly reached out to me and we had conversations, but my wife and I had some things going on that I didn’t need to go to Philly at that time.”

Austin said that while he couldn’t make it to that one, WrestleMania 41 will be in Nevada, in the state where he currently lives and he hopes to be there for it.

He previously said in an interview that he doesn’t want to travel outside the state but Las Vegas is in Nevada and only 400 miles away.

“But anyway, it’ll be in Vegas…so I hope to be there this year!”
