Although WWE pitched ideas for a match against Brock Lesnar and Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns for Wrestlemania 39, Steve Austin won’t be wrestling at the April event.
WWE reportedly made “Stone Cold” a “huge money” offer for a match against Reigns.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that Austin has turned down WWE’s offer to work a match.
“As far as Austin goes, Steve might be at the show. I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised at all. He might do something on the show but he did in fact turn down wrestling at the show. He was offered [Brock] Lesnar, he was offered Roman Reigns. He probably could have named his opponent if he wanted to do it with anybody else but he did not choose to wrestle on the show.”
