The Megastar who has arguably defined The Attitude Era along with The Rock is his iconic rival, Stone Cold Steve Austin. The Texas Rattlesnake stole the show when he competed against Kevin Owens in the main event of WrestleMania 38 on Saturday, showing the WWE Universe that he indeed “still got it.”
Moreover, it was heavily rumoured that the former WWE World Champion was supposed to make a special at WrestleMania 40, but it didn’t come to fruition due to financial negotiations. With this year’s Show of Shows in the books, WWE can eye to bring Austin next year to Las Vegas at WrestleMania 41, perhaps with an appearance or one last showdown inside the Squared Circle.
Let us see all the possible superstars who can face Stone Cold at WrestleMania 41:
1. The Second City Saint faces The Texas RattleSnake
The Best in the World, CM Punk shocked the entire WWE Universe with his WWE return last year after almost a decade absence. Since then, Punk has been involved in several memorable segments in the WWE and defeated Drew McIntyre in a Strap match at the WWE Bash in Berlin 2024 last night.
CM Punk has recently shown his desire to compete against Stone Cold Steve Austin. During an appearance at Fanatic Fest, Punk addressed a potential match with The Texas Rattle Snake. Considering that Austin is in great shape at the moment, a match between The Second City Saint and Texas RattleSnake at WrestleMania 41 will steal the show.
2. The Final Boss squares off against Stone Cold
A rivalry that most prominently defined WWE during the attitude era is the feud between The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin. A match between the two of the most decorated superstars in the WWE at WrestleMania 41 will be nothing short of a dream come true.
The Rock delivered one hell of a performance in his match at WrestleMania 40. Stone Cold was heavily rumoured to be part of the show, but The Texas RattleSnake did not appear at the event. Stone Cold has shown a strong desire to appear at WWE WrestleMania 41, and a match between these two WWE megastars at WrestleMania 41 will sell lots of tickets and will be a blockbuster addition to the card.
3. The American Nightmare battles The Texas RattleSnake
WWE Universe loves to book fantasy dream matches between the WWE Superstars from different eras. But only a few of them could match the collective level of buzz that a match between the WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin and the new Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes could make, which, if happens, will sell out arenas all across the globe.
Cody Rhodes has stated multiple times that he has looked up to The Texas RattleSnake, and he is the guy who set the bar for his generation of wrestlers. So a match between these two larger-than-life superstars at WrestleMania 41, the Grandest Stage of Them All, makes all the sense in the world.
