Stone Cold Steve Austin had a surprise in his pocket for all of his Texas fans and the whole WWE Universe. The WWE Hall of Famer laced up his boots for one night to teach Kevin Owens a valuable lesson in a No Holds Barred Match for disrespecting the state of Texas.
It was a classic Stone Cold moment at the A&T Stadium on Day 1 of WrestleMania 38. ‘The Texas Rattlesnake’ came out, had a match, won it, and celebrated by drinking beer (The Broken Skull American Lager) all around the ring.

‘The Rattlesnake’ spilled the first on Kevin Owens as a welcome to Texas. After the match, he shared some beer cans with the match referee, his brother, and Byron Saxton. From the lot, the commentator fell victim to a stunner.
It was a nostalgic moment for many WWE fans. Also, as one of the commentators said, “Like spinach is for Popeye, beer is for Austin,” The Texas Rattlesnake had fun and protected the pride of ‘The Lone Star State’.

The fans were already under the impression that The Rattlesnake was going to give a beat down to Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 38. When Austin emerged in his wrestling gear, it was a sign that something big was going to happen.
After the KO show started, Stone Cold said to Owens, “How about in five seconds 75,000 people call you an a**hole.”
Owens, who was already fed up with talking, wanted some in-ring action with Austin and challenged the Texan to a No Holds Barred Match. Austin asked the fans and accepted the challenge.
