Amid this, there is a possibility that WWE legend Stone Cold Steve Austin might come out of retirement to face the People's Champion after nearly 22 years. The rivalry between Stone Cold and The Rock stands as one of the greatest feuds in WWE history. They clashed on multiple occasions during the Attitude Era. The last time Rock and Stone Cold came face to face in the squared circle was at WrestleMania XIX, which took place in 2003.

Recently, The Texas Rattlesnake confirmed that he will be in Las Vegas during WrestleMania weekend for some appearances. He hasn’t spoken with the promotion yet, but he will be around during 'Mania in Vegas. This sparked the chances that Triple H could plant the seeds for a Stone Cold comeback during the Road to WrestleMania 41.

It will eventually result in a match between The Rock and the veteran star. It might be a short match just to make The Show of Shows even bigger. The last time Stone Cold entered the ring for a match was against Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 38, where he came out on top.

A clash between two Attitude Era legends will surely give WWE fans a nostalgic feeling at The Showcase of the Immortals.
