The Bionic Redneck was forced to retire from in-ring competition in 2003. He bid adieu to wrestling at WrestleMania XIX after a match against The Rock. However, he returned to the ring at WrestleMania 38 against Kevin Owens and delivered an amazing matchup in the main event. After this interview, it can be stated that there is one more match left in the Stone Cold down the line. WWE was also planning for a match between Punk and Austin earlier as well.

The Bionic Redneck said that at WrestleMania 38, all stars were aligned for his return to the ring. Headlining WrestleMania at the age of 57 would have been wild for him in 2003. Therefore, he believes in having a never-say-never attitude. In essence, he is open to anything at this stage of professional wrestling.

I said I’d never get in a ring again unless all the stars aligned, And for some reason, somehow, they all did. And at the age of 57, I headlined the first night of WrestleMania. I never thought I’d do that. If you’d have told me that when I retired in [2003], I’d have said, ‘You’re crazy.’ So I’m not gonna sit here and say no to anything because you never say never in this crazy business of sports entertainment.
