Fans anticipated ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin’s appearance to aid Cody Rhodes during his championship bout against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania XL’s Night Two.
However, rumors didn’t materialize, leaving many disappointed. Instead, The Undertaker lent his support to Rhodes in the clash against The Final Boss and The Bloodline. Former WWE star Ryback also weighed in on the situation, expressing his views.
Ryback, on Ryback TV, criticized WWE’s decision not to bring Austin into the main event, believing it was a missed chance to give Cody Rhodes a significant boost.
He argued that if WWE wanted Austin to endorse Rhodes, they should have met his financial demands. Ryback emphasized the value of Austin’s endorsement, describing it as a “rub of a lifetime” for Rhodes.
He held WWE accountable for failing to secure Austin’s appearance, suggesting that the decision was a misstep on their part.
