Cody Rhodes On Steve Austin: “I Feel Like He Hasn’t Punched His Legends Card Enough”

Cody Rhodes hopes to see Steve Austin make more WWE appearances in the near future. The WWE Hall of Famer recently made headlines when he made an interesting observation about where he currently resides and the location of WWE WrestleMania 41.

Austin came out of retirement at WWE WrestleMania 38 for a match with Kevin Owens, his first since WrestleMania 19 against The Rock in 2003.  WWE WrestleMania 41 is set to take place on April 19 and 20, 2024, at Allegiant Stadium in Nevada.

While speaking to Christopher Kamrani of The Athletic, Austin was asked about competing in off-road buggy races in Nevada and noted that Mania is in Vegas next year, so he wouldn’t have to leave his home. While speaking to Gabby LaSpisa on Gabby AF, Rhodes was asked about a possible Austin appearance at WrestleMania 41.

Cody said, “Stone Cold, man. Every WrestleMania is his to be on and be part of. Steve Austin is, from a dollars and cents standpoint, the most profitable wrestler ever. From guys who like and study the business of it, that’s the benchmark and where you want to get. In addition to being all that, more memories than anyone could possibly provide. WWE at the time needed. WWE doesn’t need things that often. At that time, they needed Stone Cold Steve Austin, and he pulled (the company) out of the spot it was in and made everybody rich and brought a whole new flavor to the industry…..I didn’t see it (the tease). I’d love to see him in any capacity. He over-delivered with Kevin Owens. If that was the end, that’s a great end. Kevin Owens did an incredible job there, too. I feel like he hasn’t punched his Legends card enough. He could just come in and tag with somebody. I know he probably wants it to be at the highest of levels, but you’re a legend. You can do whatever you want.”
