According to Sheamus, The Rattlesnake is not just coming for KO Show at WrestleMania. His return is much bigger than that.

Sheamus said, “I heard about the KO Show thing, I think to have Austin do – no matter what he does at Mania is essential. He needs to be there. It’s his home state of Texas. So, I wouldn’t expect any more than Steve going out there and just stunner-ing a lot of people, as many people as he can, because everybody loves a good stunner – a proper stunner, you know? A real stunner, an original stunner. Everyone loves one.”

The Irishmen had competed in an after-match brawl against Austin, Shawn Michaels, and Mick Foley at WrestleMania 32. Stone Cold will be at WrestleMania and is going to hit plenty of stunners. As per Sheamus, Austin’s return will be the highlight of “The Stupendous WrestleMania” of all time.

Stone Cold Steve Austin is a legend

Sheamus in his recent interview highlighted that The Rattlesnake is, in fact, a legend whose popularity is incredible. Austin has made the Attitude Era memorable for every pro-wrestling fan.

Sheamus said, “Steve’s a legend. There’s no doubt about it, probably one of the most successful ever. People still talk about the Attitude Era more than anything, and it was the ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin era. He put the company in the direction its in today.”
