Following his almost two-decade hiatus, Steve Austin made a triumphant return to the ring at WrestleMania 38, where he emerged victorious in the main event of night one against Kevin Owens. Austin, who was one of the biggest stars of the Attitude Era, departed from wrestling at a time when it was transitioning into the Ruthless Aggression Era, which was spearheaded by John Cena.

Although the careers of Austin and Cena never intersected in the ring, Austin was queried about the possibility of facing off against Cena during an interview with Ryan Satin on Out of Character.



Working with him would have been a real highlight, and I've had a bunch of highlights. It would have been a real special thing. There is something about John. People are so invested in his matches. He's a very special talent. It would have been great to have a match with him. Will it ever happen? No. I think very highly of John and I love him," he said.

Asked if he ever considered returning to face Cena, Austin replied, "No, not really. Names have always been tossed around in conversation and stuff like that. I said I was never going to really wrestle again, unless, because you never say never, unless the stars aligned properly. They did to work with KO [Kevin Owens] in Dallas, so we did that. It wasn't really put out, 'it's going to be a highly competitive match.' You weren't expecting us to go 30 minutes. I think we exceeded the expectations and it worked for that time and place. I'm good."
