That was his first match since facing The Rock at WrestleMania XIX in 2003, and ever since that Texas return, speculation has swirled about whether he\u2019d do it again.<\/p>\n<p>But during a recent <a href=\"http:\/\/fightfulselect.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fightful Select Q&amp;A<\/a>, Sean Ross Sapp shut down the idea that Austin\u2019s comeback is currently in the works for the Las Vegas show in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve not. And usually in the months leading to Mania, I hear if something is pitched\u2014like we reported he was coming out of retirement, we heard about the Roman Reigns pitch\u2014but I\u2019ve not heard about 2026 as of yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That being said, Austin hasn\u2019t ruled it out completely. Sapp noted that Austin made some comments at WrestleMania 41 that have kept fans talking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, he did tell people at Mania 41 that he might have one left in him, but other than that, I\u2019ve not heard anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So far, WWE isn\u2019t moving on anything involving the Texas Rattlesnake\u2014despite what fans may want. If anything changes, expect the internet to blow up in record time.<\/p>\n<p>Would you want to see \u201cStone Cold\u201d lace up the boots again for WrestleMania 42? Or should his last match against Kevin Owens remain the perfect sendoff? Sound off in the comments and let us know.<\/p>\n<p>October 19, 2025 10:37 pm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It looks like \u201cStone Cold\u201d Steve Austin won\u2019t be stomping a mudhole at WrestleMania 42\u2014at least, not according&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":226170,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[49,48,75,108236,11805,108237],"class_list":{"0":"post-226169","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-steve-austin","12":"tag-wwe-featured","13":"tag-wwe-wrestlemania"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226169","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=226169"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226169\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/226170"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226169"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=226169"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=226169"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
