The wrestling world is still buzzing from Stone Cold Steve Austin’s epic return to the WWE ring at WrestleMania 38 in Texas, where he stunned Austin Theory, Vince McMahon, and Pat McAfee on the second night of the event. As Austin Theory reflected on his experience sharing the ring with the WWE Hall of Famer, he couldn’t help but praise the legend’s iconic Stunner move.
Speaking on the Battleground Podcast, Theory was asked to compare the Stunners delivered by Kevin Owens and Steve Austin himself. Theory, one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions, diplomatically stated that both Superstars brought their own unique styles to the move. However, when asked about his own experience with Austin at WrestleMania 38, Theory’s admiration for the wrestling legend shone through.
Recalling the moment he stepped into the ring with Austin, Theory seemed to relish the opportunity to trade blows with one of the greatest of all time. “It was an incredible experience, being in the ring with Stone Cold Steve Austin,” Theory said, his voice filled with respect and admiration.
This past year has been a whirlwind for Theory, who ruled the men’s division as the United States Champion before eventually losing the title to Rey Mysterio. He then transitioned to the tag team division, pairing up with Grayson Waller to form a formidable duo. The pair was recently crowned the inaugural WWE Tag Team Champions on Friday Night SmackDown.
In a separate interview on Going Ringside, Theory also made headlines by claiming that his victory over John Cena at WrestleMania 38 had a negative impact on the Hollywood star’s career. While the verdict is still out on that particular statement, one thing is certain: Austin Theory’s star is on the rise, and his encounter with Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 38 will always be remembered as a career highlight.
With Theory’s stock continuing to soar, wrestling fans are eagerly anticipating his next move. Will he continue to dominate the tag team division, or will he set his sights on another singles title run? Only time will tell, but one thing is for certain – Austin Theory is a force to be reckoned with in the WWE.
