5 Ways WWE could book the return of Stone Cold Steve Austin 

#3. Stone Cold Steve Austin is unveiled as WWE's Higher Authority on SmackDown

There has been something of a mystery on-going in WWE over the past few months, with Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville alluding to a higher authority in the company.

The "higher-ups" have been mentioned several times when it comes to storyline ideas which have put WWE Officials in hot water. Whilst it is likely that this "higher power" could just be the McMahon family or Vince McMahon himself, it could be unveiled as anyone at present.

The "higher-ups" have never been seen on-screen and it's likely that the company will continue to push the story until someone is chosen to play the role. With WWE pushing for Austin to make his return, who better than the Texas Rattlesnake to be unveiled as the man behind the curtain?

Austin knows the business inside out and could be a great pick to go up against Roman Reigns on the mic.
