With WWE entering a new era this year, fans and critics have been wondering if there are any major returns in store. According to veteran lawyer Michael Morales Torres, Stone Cold Steve Austin could be a star to possibly make his comeback soon.
RAW's move to Netflix represents a big change for many, as fans are expecting a tonal shift soon. Judging by the booking of major names like Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and others, it is clear that WWE wants to start strong with the premiere episode. According to Michael Torres, Steve Austin's addition could also be easily done.
Speaking on Sportskeeda's UnSKripted, the veteran lawyer stated:
"You see that he has that bug inside his veins. Any moment, he can get in one or two more matches. Just like he did with Kevin Owens. Something, sort of a street fight... And then a match with Punk would a hell of a [match there]." [14:35 onwards]
A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.
He added:
"It's gotta be a shoot between the two of them, and Punk's gotta be the heel. He is a great and outstanding heel, also is Austin, but who will hate Steve Austin? Nobody, it's impossible. Punk, he can be a jack***, you know the word." [17:25 onwards]
Another veteran believes The Rock could come into WWE soon
Hugo Savinovich thinks that The Rock's integration into the active scene would be a good decision for the same reasons as Steve Austin's return.
Speaking on the same episode of Sportskeeda's UnSKripted, wrestling veteran Hugo shared his thoughts on The Rock coming back on RAW. He said:
"I believe that if he shows up, he's gonna kick some b*tt. I mean, because you're starting a new era, and you gotta make it for the fans and the new fans. Remember, we are talking about people that were not even used to watching a boxing fight that watched that Tyson bout. So to me, it's a great opportunity to use somebody like The Rock or John Cena, who, even if you don't know their wrestling history and the faces of the WWE... just the fact of their names, Hollywood personas, it don't have to be too long." [10:58 onwards]
It remains to be seen how and when The Rock returns to WWE.
