WWE News Roundup: Released star was told not to leave WWE in 2018, Seth Rollins' massive milestone, veteran not interested in joining Cesaro in AEW (February 27th, 2022)

#2 Dutch Mantell not interested in joining Cesaro in AEW

Cesaro's quiet WWE exit this past week was a massive topic of discussion among the pro-wrestling fraternity. As has been the case, fans immediately started speculating whether he could be the next big star to sign with All Elite Wrestling.

Cesaro's former manager in WWE Dutch Mantell, fka Zeb Colter, also gave his thoughts on the same. Mantell further stated that he has no interest in joining Cesaro in AEW no matter how much they call him.

"Since Jack is in AEW, that is a thought; they may be thinking about putting them back together, which wouldn't be a bad idea. They can call me as much as they want; I'm not really interested in going to tell you the truth. I am burnt out on wrestling. I'm just using wrestling as an excuse, but I've done it so many years, and I'm done. Not that I want to be done, I just am," said Dutch Mantell.

Since Cesaro's contract expired and he was not released, he doesn't have a non-compete clause. This means the Swiss Superman could appear for any other promotion as early as next week.

#1 Stone Cold Steve Austin makes a special announcement

WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin is heavily rumored to be making his in-ring return at WrestleMania 38 and face Kevin Owens. While the Texas Rattlesnake hasn't reacted to these rumors, he has now made a "special announcement" for WrestleMania week. Austin is set to release his new American Lager beer just two days before WrestleMania 38.

Meanwhile, Kevin Owens has dropped multiple teases about this rumored match via his social media. With just a little over a month to go for the Show of Shows, if WWE does plan to have Austin compete, we might see him return to WWE television soon.
