Steve Austin Confirmed For WWE WrestleMania 42 Weekend

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin will be in Sin City over WWE WrestleMania 42 weekend.

It was announced during Monday Night Raw that the WWE World at WrestleMania 42 convention will feature Steve Austin for photo and autograph opportunities. Austin will be at the convention on Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19.

Whether this means Steve Austin will appear at WrestleMania 42 from Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium is unknown. Austin appeared on night two of WrestleMania 41 in 2025 to announce the attendance, with his appearance becoming infamous for him crashing an ATV into the barricade.

Austin hasn't wrestled since defeating Kevin Owens in a Street Fight at 2022's WrestleMania 38. Fans shouldn't expect to see The Texas Rattlesnake wrestle again, though, as he recently noted on Insight with Chris Van Vliet that he could wrestle again, but probably won't.

"Probably not. I'll say that, but you say never. But with the knee replacement I had last year? God dang, I was limping around so bad, and I didn't know I was limping, and people would ask me, 'What's wrong?' I said, 'What are you talking about?' [They said] 'You're limping.' F*ck, I didn't know, because I don't watch myself walk. And then finally, after everybody kept pointing it out to me, I could feel it, no doubt that's why I was limping. And then it just started getting really bad because of all the arthritis in there. And finally, last year, I had it replaced," Austin said.

"I was thinking why didn't I do this sooner to get out of so much pain? And I've always wondered what arthritis felt like. Man, I found out firsthand. And it's chronically over time, years and years and years of it. It'll change your personality. It just puts you in a state of mind where you just want some relief, so to get that relief and come out on the other side and still be active."
