For the first time in 19 years, ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin returned to the WWE ring at WrestleMania 38, where he battled Kevin Owens. The match headlined night 1 of The Show of Shows, in which The Texas Rattlesnake prevailed.

WWE Hall of famer and former six-time world champion Booker-t believes that ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin can fill the shoes of The Undertaker, who has competed at major events in recent years. On the latest episode, he detailed the possibility of ‘Stone-Cold’ Steve Austin returning to the ring and possibly replacing The Undertaker as a major draw for stadium events. During his on-screen appearances, The Undertaker had an enormous impact on the WWE Universe and Booker T believes Austin is the last of the icons from yesteryear who can have that same impact:

“I wouldn’t say he’s a WrestleMania guy or anything like that. Star power is everything. Saudi Arabia, to have ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin on that card – boom, I’m sure the people over there would love it. To see Austin in Cardiff, Wales, that would be awesome because those guys out there haven’t seen him in such a long time. To see Stone-Cold Steve Austin, live, up close and in person, that would just be a moment for those guys, just to see Steve Austin – forget about him in the ring.”

Booker T adds:

“I see Steve as maybe the new Undertaker. The guy that shows up, pops up the crowd, gives the crowd that moment that they’re going to remember for the rest of their lives – and, me personally, that’s a damn good position to be in,” said the Hall of Famer.”

What can be next for ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin?

WWE Hall of Famer Steve Austin recently said that he is likely done competing in the ring, but he is open to returning at WrestleMania 39 next year in Hollywood. Steve Austin’s match against Kevin Owens was well received by fans and critics alike. It was the first time Steve Austin had competed since he lost to The Rock at WrestleMania 19.

Austin was asked if he would be at WrestleMania 39 in Hollywood. He laughed and replied that he would be there if he heard from Vince McMahon:

“Well [Austin laughs], for me to participate in WrestleMania 38, if you would’ve told me, ‘Hey man, you’re gonna be a part of WrestleMania 38. Not only that, you’re gonna main event night one,’ I would’ve said you’re full of sh*t and you’re crazy and there I was in Dallas, Texas, headlining main event on day one so, never say ‘never'(…) I’m sure I’m done wrestling per se, but as a part of WWE, I can’t imagine I would not be there in some capacity and I’m not booking myself on the show because I didn’t book myself on 38. That’s a Vince thing and I have a great relationship with him and if I get the call, I’ll be there,”
