Stone Cold Steve Austin came out to the familiar tune of the glass breaking and cut a promo to close out the show. It was completely unscripted and heartfelt and not in line with the Stone Cold that we know and love.
No, this was a warm promo from the man who's paved the way for the men and women of today, commemorating the locker room for everything they've given to the wrestling business. Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair were on the ramp and they could only stare in amazement, as Stone Cold Steve Austin owned the crowd.

I know that a lot of people wanted a match to close out the show. But in my mind, this was a very special moment, where the curtain was pulled back and a generational leader saluted the locker room.
Hats off to the Texas Rattlesnake.
