WWE Hall of Famer Steve Austin recently spoke with Chris Van Vliet and shared his thoughts on wrestling again, WrestleMania 40, and his conversation with Kevin Owens. Austin confirmed he could work one more match but said he wouldn't lobby for one as it would be silly.
However, he did mention that anything could happen, and he wouldn't say never to the idea. During the interview, Austin also discussed why he didn't accept a match for WrestleMania 39. He explained that due to the filming schedule for his show, "Stone Cold Takes on America," he knew what his life would look like, and there was no way he could prepare for WrestleMania and do himself justice or do the crowd justice.
He revealed that they finished filming about five to seven days before WrestleMania 39, and they would put him in a significant position.
