Stone Cold Steve Austin Says 'Never Say Never' When Asked About Having Another Match In WWE

Stone Cold Steve Austin is undeniably one of the biggest superstars in the wrestling industry, integral to the success of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE).## From his debut in 1989 to retirement in 2003, Steve Austin was a massive success for the company. In the WWF, Austin was repackaged as a short-tempered, brash, anti-establishment antihero named "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, becoming the most popular wrestler of the Attitude Era, fueled by his feud with company chairman Mr. McMahon.## He won multiple championships throughout his wrestling career. He famously won the WWF Championship six times and the WWF Intercontinental Championship twice.## Following his retirement from in-ring action, he made sporadic appearances and one-off returns to competition. His last match was against Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 38 Night One in a No Holds Barred match, which he won with a Stone Cold Stunner. This marked his first wrestling match in WWE in over 19 years.## During a recent interview with ESPN, Steve Austin was asked about having another match in WWE. ## “I said I'd never get in a ring again unless all the stars aligned & for some reason, somehow, they all did. And at the age of 57, I headlined the first night of WrestleMania 38. I never thought I'd do that. If you'd have told me that when I retired in 2003, I'd have said, 'You're crazy.' So I'm not gonna sit here & say no to anything because you never say never in this crazy business of sports entertainment." ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Most WWE Elimination Chamber Matches; Ranked Top 5

In anticipation of the 2024 Elimination Chamber Pay-Per-View event which takes place on Saturday, February 24, 2024, at Optus Stadium in Perth, Western Australia, Australia, let's know who scores the most Elimination Chamber matches. ## The Elimination Chamber, a brutal steel structure known for high-impact action, has been a staple event in WWE since its debut in 2002. Originally held at Survivor Series, it became its own pay-per-view in 2010, typically serving as the last stop before the grand stage of WrestleMania.## Over 30 Elimination Chamber matches, both for men and women, have tested the resilience of countless wrestlers. But who are the true veterans of this unforgiving structure? While seven brave souls have battled within its confines four times, eight stand above the rest with appearances exceeding that number. ## 5. Kofi Kingston - 6 Times ## Kofi Kingston, known for his agility, surprised many by winning a tag team Elimination Chamber match in 2015. Despite not securing a singles victory, his emotional journey, particularly in 2019 against Daniel Bryan, remains a standout moment for fans and his New Day teammates. 4. Triple H - 7 Times ## Triple H, credited with creating the Elimination Chamber match, holds the record for most wins with four victories. His last win was in 2009, and he hasn't competed in the match since 2010, despite being its architect. ## 3. John Cena - 7 Times ## John Cena, a WWE stalwart, has won the Elimination Chamber three times in seven appearances. He's achieved victories from both the first and last positions. However, Cena hasn't won since 2011, aiming to tie Triple H for the most wins with one more victory. ## 2. Chris Jericho - 8 Times ## Chris Jericho shares the record for most Elimination Chamber appearances with Randy Orton at 8. He also holds the record for most eliminations with 10. Despite his dominance, Jericho has only emerged victorious once, capturing the World Heavyweight Championship in 2010 by defeating CM Punk, John Morrison, R-Truth, Rey Mysterio, and The Undertaker. ## 1. Randy Orton - 8 Times ## Randy Orton remains tied with Chris Jericho for most Elimination Chamber wins. Despite his menacing persona, Orton has only won once in six appearances. However, with no signs of slowing down, he's poised for more opportunities in the future. This year, he is all set to break Jericho's record as he participates in the Men's Elimination Chamber match. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
