Austin said if Cody Rhodes needs another hand, he will be there for him. Through this statement, it seems like Austin has spilled the beans on a potential WrestleMania 41 appearance. Based on the 59-year-old wrestling legend's statement, it seems fans will see Rhodes take on The Rock at WrestleMania 41.

Anyone who watched WrestleMania 40 and the RAW after knows that Cody Rhodes and The Rock have unfinished business. With how things are going on in WWE currently, there is a chance The Rock could return for a WrestleMania 41 match against the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.

And this is where Stone Cold Steve Austin could play a part. For those unaware, Austin was initially reported to be there to help Rhodes win the title at WrestleMania 40. However, he couldn't be a part of the PLE and could potentially now fulfill what fans didn't get to see this year at WrestleMania 41.

Maybe that's what Stone Cold Steve Austin meant when he said he would be there if Rhodes needed another hand. While the angle is speculative, seeing Stone Cold help Cody Rhodes against The Rock would be a cool moment to watch and would also be big for Austin as he would have yet another interaction against his iconic rival.


Wrestling veteran says Stone Cold Steve Austin's finisher is more over compared to The Rock's finisher

Stone Cold Steve Austin has neutralized many opponents with his famous Stunner. Not many moves in professional wrestling are as famous as Austin's Stunner. However, the one move that can be compared to it is The Rock's People's Elbow.

However, as per a wrestling veteran, when both moves are put up against each other, Austin's Stunner is more over. During an appearance on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW, Vince Russo was asked which is the most over finishing move in professional wrestling history.

Picking Stone Cold Steve Austin's move, Russo said:

"That one I agree with [Stone Cold’s finisher being the most over-finishing move]. It’s a ton more over than the People’s Elbow. I think so. I am watching so much Attitude Era now, bro, for Russo’s brand, and every time he hit the Stunner, people came out of their clothes." [From 58:56 onwards]

If Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock do clash at WrestleMania 41, it will be interesting to see which superstar delivers their finisher. Regardless of who does it, the pop will surely be loud for both men.
