Cody Rhodes invites WWE Hall of Famer to return at WrestleMania 41

WWE legend Stone Cold Steve Austin came out of retirement to face Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 38. The Texas Rattlesnake reportedly missed last year's edition of The Show of Shows due to some prior commitments.

During an earlier interview with Adrian Hernandez at ComplexCon, Cody Rhodes extended his invitation for the WWE Hall of Famer to show up at the Allegiant Stadium. The American Nightmare mentioned that Austin does not live far away from Vegas. He showered praise on the veteran, stating he would love for the latter to be at the show.

"He’s also not far. I mean, we could helicopter him Great American Bash style. I think Stone Cold Steve Austin being, you know, we’re talking inside here, but this babyface individual, and we’re back in this unbelievable era where there are good guys in the business again. Here was the ultimate babyface who had the company on his back. I just would like him to be around to see how we’re doing. I want him to know, like, 'Hey, we’re doing this Friday, we’re doing this Saturday,' and I hope he’s proud of all of us because he really has set the table for us, him and The Rock, in a way that we can eat so fruitfully. So I’d love for Steve to do anything," Rhodes said. [From 4:22 onwards]
