The WWE Superstar makes his return to the ring tonight for a special RAW Reunion on Monday Night Raw on USA Network and next month fans will have the chance to hear Stone Cold talk about this return and more at SVCC.
“To have such an incredible icon from the world of wrestling at SVCC is an honor,” said Trip Hunter, chairman of SVCC. “We know fans will enjoy meeting him and hearing about his career and his return to Raw. It will be epic!”
Proudly raising his middle finger in the face of anyone who dared oppose him, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin is the blue-collar warrior for the common man. Clad in jeans and black leather often soaked in beer foam, Austin was defiant, brash and dared anyone to try and tell him what to do. When the signature sound of shattering glass erupted throughout the arena, everyone there knew that it was time to raise hell. And if you happened to be on the receiving end, well, you have our sympathies. Known for his six WWE Championships, two Intercontinental Championships, a record three Royal Rumble victories and Triple Crown Champion credentials, the wrestling icon, actor, producer and television host will join the SVCC line-up of celebrities, entertainers, comic creators, authors, tech luminaries, scientists and more for an epic weekend of fandom and fun.
