5 things Stone Cold Steve Austin could do on RAW 3:16

WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin is set to return to WWE to celebrate 3:16 Day, on next week's RAW. Austin, who is synonymous with 3:16, will lead the celebrations on March 16 on the Red brand, although neither he nor WWE have revealed what is in store for fans.

Austin's last appearance on WWE television came last year in September when he officiated the contract signing between Braun Strowman and Seth Rollins in Madison Square Garden, where he landed a stunner on AJ Styles after the two got involved in a heated feud.

With Austin set to feature on RAW next week, let's take a look at 5 things he could on the show:

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

#5 Segment with Bret Hart

Bret Hart is the next guest on Austin's Broken Skull Sessions

Stone Cold Steve Austin has a show on the WWE Network called the Broken Skull Sessions, where he has interviewed legends such as The Undertaker, Kane, Goldberg, and The Big Show. The next episode of the show will feature another legend and WWE Hall of Famer, Bret Hart, and will air on March 16, after RAW.

WWE often promote new shows on the WWE Network on RAW, SmackDown, NXT and their PPVs, and they could do the same for the next episode of Broken Skull Sessions. We could perhaps see Stone Cold appear on RAW to promote that show, where he will talk about a whole host of things with Hart. WWE could also perhaps bring back Hart to RAW, and have him in a taped segment with Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Hart hasn't been seen on WWE television since last SummerSlam, where he was seen backstage with Seth Rollins, who was set to have a huge match with Brock Lesnar.

#4 Guest referee for WrestleMania 36 match

Stone Cold has donned the referee's role in the past

RAW has two big matches slated for WrestleMania 36, which includes the huge match between Drew McIntyre and Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship, as well as Becky Lynch defending her RAW Women's Championship against Shayna Baszler.

WWE could possibly be bringing Stone Cold back for him to be a special guest referee for one of those two matches at The Show of Shows. Austin has been a special guest referee for big matches in the past, and adding him to a match could elevate it further.

We could perhaps see Austin be the host for a segment on RAW to hype up one of the two matches. And, as we have seen in the past, these feuds can get quite animated, with punches thrown. Austin could maybe split the two up, and announce that a big match like WrestleMania needs to be officiated by someone like him, before inserting himself as the special guest referee.

This would certainly be a good move by WWE, to get people more invested in the match.

#3 WrestleMania 36 host

Mick Foley, Shawn Michaels, and Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 32

With WrestleMania 36 less than a month away, appearances by legends like Stone Cold Steve Austin on WWE television could possibly indicate his involvement at The Show of Shows. Austin has not been a part of the last few WrestleManias, but has had a few memorable moments at the marquee show in recent years.

At WrestleMania 32, The Texas Rattlesnake featured alongside Shawn Michaels and Mick Foley as they came face-to-face with The League of Nations. Two years prior to that, he was alongside two of the greatest WWE wrestlers, Hulk Hogan and The Rock, in another very memorable WrestleMania moment.

We could perhaps see him have yet another similar moment at WrestleMania 36, where he could be the host of the show. Alexa Bliss was the host of last year's WrestleMania, while The New Day hosted the PPV two years prior to that.

The host's role is to hype up the show, introduce a few Superstars, as well as have a few WrestleMania moments backstage or in the ring - and Stone Cold can do all that with aplomb.

#2 Segment with Paul Heyman, Brock Lesnar and Drew McIntyre

As mentioned previously, one of the eagerly awaited matches of WrestleMania 36 is between Brock Lesnar and Drew McIntyre. It has a big match feel involving two absolute beasts, who look like they could tear each other apart.

Austin could perhaps add more spice to this feud by being in a segment with Brock Lesnar and his advocate, Paul Heyman. The WWE Hall of Famer could interview The Beast and Heyman, which is where he could try to put over McIntyre, who needs to get all the momentum possible, on the Road to WrestleMania. Austin had a similar role the last time he appeared on WWE television, when he was on hand during the contract signing between Braun Stromwn and Seth Rollins.

Austin could trade barbs with Heyman, and Lesnar may attack Austin to shut him up, which is where McIntyre comes in to save the WWE Hall of Famer, and send a warning to Lesnar again. This would get even more heat on Lesnar, while McIntyre could also benefit from saving Austin.

#1 Teams up with Kevin Owens and stuns Rollins and co.

Although Stone Cold Steve Austin makes rare appearances on WWE television these days, one of his signature moves, the Stunner, is still being used often. RAW Superstar Kevin Owens has been using the move.

Owens has been in a feud with Seth Rollins' faction on RAW, and there's a big chance that he could team up with Austin to attack Rollins and co. We could even see a potential double stunner on RAW, with Owens and Austin performing it at the same time.

Owens spoke about how he requested Austin to use the move, and the WWE Hall of Famer was glad that someone asked him.

You know, me giving him the respect of it but more than anything, he was happy that someone asked him because he's like, 'You want to use it as a finisher ?' I'm like, 'Yes'. He's like, 'God, it's about time; I can't believe nobody's tried this yet. I can't believe no one had come and asked about using the stunner as a finisher. It's a great finish, like, why not?'
