After nearly 20 years, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin is returning to WWE
Austin announced via video on Tuesday.
In a scenic desert location, Austin can be seen driving a green side-by-side against the backdrop of picturesque mountain ranges. Then, he stops the car on the dirt path, steps out and unleashes his fury on Owens. “19 years ago, I wrestled my last match in a WWE ring,” he says. “After three rock bottoms, one, two, three, I lost the match. And for 19 years, I’ve had to live with that defeat, knowing my time was up. Kevin Owens, I want to thank you. I want to thank you for waking something up deep inside me that I’ve kept buried for 19 years.”
He then goes on to berate Owens for disparaging Texas, Austin’s home state. Owens has been vocal about“Ever since you started running that d‐‐‐‐ mealy mouth of yours talking about the state of Texas, the great state of Texas, you got my attention. And why would you want to do that, Kevin? I can think of two reasons.
