Stone Cold breaks Edge's unique WrestleMania record

Stone Cold Steve Austin broke a unique WrestleMania record tonight that previously belonged to Edge.

At WrestleMania Saturday, Stone Cold faced Kevin Owens in an impromptu No Holds Barred match. It was also the main event of Night One of the Shows of Shows. After a hard-hitting brawl, Austin delivered a thunderous Stunner to Owens to pick up the big win.

With his huge win, Austin broke an impressive WrestleMania record that was previously held by none other than Edge. The Rattlesnake now holds the longest amount of time between two WrestleMania main events.

Austin's last WrestleMania main event was way back in 2001. At WrestleMania 17, the Hall of Famer defeated The Rock in a WWE title match, and joined forces with Vince McMahon immediately after. 21 long years later, Austin headlined WrestleMania again, defeating Kevin Owens.

Edge headlined WrestleMania 24 in 2008, against The Undertaker. That night, The Deadman defeated The Ultimate Opportunist to win the world title. 13 years later, Edge headlined WrestleMania 37 against Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan for the Universal Championship. The Tribal Chief defeated The Rated R Superstar and Bryan to retain his title.

Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Kevin Owens garnered quite a loud reaction from fans in attendance

Stone Cold Steve Austin is regarded by many as quite possibly the greatest to ever step foot in the ring. Austin wrestled in his final WWE match against The Rock at WrestleMania 19. He was forced to retire soon after, due to a nagging neck injury.

It comes as no surprise that his comeback and subsequent match at the Grandest Stage of Them All garnered a huge reaction from the crowd.

No fan in their wildest dreams would have imagined that Austin would return for another match, 19 years later. The unthinkable happened at WrestleMania 38, though, and Austin didn't disappoint one bit.

He and Kevin Owens did quite well in a back and forth match before The Rattlesnake pinned KO with a Stunner.
