Is WWE planning to bring Stone Cold Steve Austin out of retirement?

The former WWE Champion has been public about the status of his injuries. He stated on the Stone Cold Podcast that he is now physically fit to wrestle.

"People always ask me, ‘Hey man, you’re still in really good shape. You got one more match left in you?’ And I tell them, ‘Man.’ I say, ‘You know, it’s a tough thing to think about.’ Physically, would I be able to have one more match? Yes, most definitely, and I could make it to that match without being injured."

In an episode of Talk Is Jericho, he also revealed that Vince McMahon tried to convince him to wrestle again. He replied by saying that he doesn't have anything left to prove to the fans.

"Going back for one match, being like man, why? What am I proving? What are they going to remember? It ain’t about the money," said Steve Austin.

He may have previously declined the offer, but there have been rumors of his in-ring return at WrestleMania 38. According to a report from Fightful, WWE is trying to get him to face Kevin Owens in a match at the Show of Shows.

Owens uses the Hall of Famer's legendary finishing move, The Stunner. A confrontation between the two on the Grandest Stage of them all would be nothing short of incredible.

However, it's only possible if Stone Cold Steve Austin agrees to return and wrestle one more match.
